Wheel day again (and so on).
Picking up from yesterday.
I'm about to break down the Nemesis rim / 7900 hub front wheel, but before that.
Normally when I post images here, I remove the tire and quick release,
but there's something I want to touch on, so I intentionally left it this time.
The Miyata tubular rim tape was cut partway through,
so I added some, but I forgot to peel off the release liner (※) on the added section.
It peeled right off so easily—I was surprised.
※ "Release liner" is the term used in the instructions.
It doesn't really look like paper, but never mind about that.
Out of 32 holes, about 4 holes worth, so one-eighth of the full circumference
was without tire contact. There are traces on the tire from riding in this condition,
but if they'd been attacking corners on a descent,
worst case they'd be dead. Lucky it didn't come off.

When I peeled off the tire, most of the rim tape around the rim holes remained on the fundoshi side,
but the red ink from the Challenge markings on the fundoshi
transferred to the rim-side tape as well.
And just that spot is shiny.
All Revolution 66 reverse Italian laced.
If you flip it over, it would be Italian laced, but
looking at the direction of the hub and rim logos,
it seems reasonable to say "laced as reverse Italian,"
but I suspect the truth is they "accidentally laced it as reverse Italian."
However, based on the direction of the quick release in the initial photo,
it seems the customer was using it in the reverse Italian configuration.
Hub moving day in progress...
Normally there's absolutely no need to take such an intermediate form (just so you know).
It looks like the same trick as yesterday, but
yesterday's move was a coronal plane move, and
today's is a sagittal plane move.
Since wheels rotate, a coronal plane move becomes
the same as a transverse plane move.
Writing "jimen" (ground) as じめん is because it's ji (地) + men (面),
but in modern Japanese orthography this is considered incorrect.
Same with inazuma (lightning)—not いなづま but いなずま.
When you coronal-plane move only half of a wheel with left-right tangent lacing,
if the non-freewheel side of the old 66 lacing and the non-freewheel side of the new 46 lacing
are in the same configuration (same inpokes and outpokes),
then the freewheel side of the old 6-spoke and new 4-spoke
have their drive-side and non-drive-side drops reversed, so
at the two holes crossing the move boundary, inpokes (or outpokes) appear consecutively
and you can't move things cleanly in half—I was going to write about that, but I stopped.
Knowing it doesn't make you money, and not knowing it doesn't lose you money.
Plus if I dig deep into it, I'd be touching one of my bread-and-butter secrets,
so I'd only be losing out by writing it.
Yesterday's wheel I made Italian laced, but
at the stage shown in the sagittal plane move photo, actually
the new rim (the small-diameter one) is already JIS laced.
All laced up.
