Another day, another wheel build (and so on).
Continuing from yesterday. Built the rear wheel.
24H, four-cross reverse Italian lacing pattern equivalent
Spokes on both sides are black CX-RAY, and the final cross is not woven.
This hub is also RD010 like the front, but
it's made by Novatech, as I mentioned briefly yesterday.
On the freewheel body spline, there's a piece of steel plate fitted in
to prevent the sprocket from biting in,
and this freewheel body with anti-bite guard
is an optional specification for Novatech hubs.
The anodizing color on the hub axle is distinctive to Novatech,
so anyone who knows will spot it right away.
It's been a while since I've rejected a defective spoke.
The boundary between the round and flattened sections
is broadly crushed.
↑Speaking of which, I've come across this kind of thing recently too.
