Another wheel day (details omitted).
A customer dropped off a rear wheel built with a ZIPP 303 rim.
It's currently built with a 7900 hub, but
they want to upgrade the freebody to 11-speed, so they're requesting a hub replacement.
The lacing pattern is 24H full CX-RAY 4-cross, but
When I put a marker tape on the final cross on the non-drive side and squeeze lightly...
It deflects this much.
The magnet and sensor are interfering
during climbs and standing sprints on flat sections—you can definitely feel the play.
The rim had shifted toward the drive side.
It's not the direction it would shift from age and use, so it was off from the start.
Rebuilt it.
Evo Lite hub, 24H, black half-comp 4-cross lacing, gold aluminum nipples.
I'll do the cable routing later.
