Another wheel day (and so on).
Built Nomunlab Wheel No. 5 (ノムラボホイール) with a Record hub.
Front wheel: 32H CX-RAY (シーエックスレイ) 66 Italian lace pattern,
Rear wheel: 32H semi-comp 46 lace pattern with spoke nipple tightening.
This Record hub is a silver hub with an aluminum large-diameter axle
from the generation that had grease holes on the hub body, but it first appeared in 1999.
However, according to my spoke length calculation formula naming system,
it's called the "2002 Record" for some reason (the reason is unclear),
and I've gotten into the habit of calling it that.
The current version with black hub minus the grease holes didn't show up until 2007,
so it's a fact that this hub is the correct one for 2002.
Since there was grease residue on the hub surface,
I cleaned it before building the wheel.
Actually, I normally clean the hub before wheel building too.
The flange holes on Evolite hubs (エボライトハブ) often have an oil film on them,
and I don't want to push spokes through that.
