Another wheel day (and so on).
I built a wheel with EDGE 1-25 rims.
The sticker is from the earliest model period, so it's from when the rim weight was nominally 195g.
The actual measured weight was 211g.
The hub is a Tune Mig45 24H.
With Tune hubs, the front is Mig and the rear is Mag,
and the numbers that follow represent the nominal weight. For example,
the universal flange front hub for spoke-bending use is the Mig70.
The building method is radial lacing only, by design,
and I used straight-gauge black CX-RAY spokes.
You can't thread the spokes through the flange without disassembling the hub,
and in this state is when you thread the spokes through the flange.
With a measured weight of 51g, it's an ultra-light hub, but
the bearing weight accounts for a considerable portion.
The hub shell is not fixed to the hub flange,
and the Ksyrium front hub has a similar structure.
When spoke tension is applied, the hub shell becomes fixed,
but the phase can be changed arbitrarily by rotation,
so there's no problem even with pair-spoke phase rims.
I write the same thing every time with this type of hub,
but I've actually never built a wheel with
a rotating-flange hub and a pair-spoke phase rim.
↑The front wheel turned out quite light.
Next, I also built the rear wheel.
This is a later-period EDGE, from when the nominal weight was 215g.
The actual measured weight was 232g.
Leaf hub 24H, all-black CX-RAY, 36-hole lacing with wire connections.
I know I could build a wheel weighing exactly around 500g if I used a lighter hub,
but when you're particular about hub dimensions and building methods, this is probably the optimal solution.
