Wheels again today (and so on).
I built a wheel using a rim that came off yesterday's build,
with an internal-nipple XR300 rim.
Front wheel is Black Hub 20H CX-RAY outpoke radial lace,
Rear wheel is Black Hub 24H semi-comp 4-cross lace with twist connections.
With yesterday's build, on the rear wheel too,
I'd suggested—without insisting on using an Extra-light hub—
something like this instead: if you prioritize rigidity, it's probably the optimal solution.
But since that project was all about building the lightest possible wheel, it got rejected.
This wheel, in the spirit of "Nomu Lab Wheel #1 prototype,"
they asked me to do it my way—
to build it however I thought best. Hehe.
↑Internal-nipple spec.
In almost every aspect except rim weight and front hub flange width,
I think this one is superior to yesterday's wheel.
Give it a try.
About yesterday's rear wheel—if it had been built with a universal hub
rather than one specific to 4-cross straight-spoke configuration,
what would have happened?
Well, I got a chance to find out the answer to that too.
More to follow later
