Another day of wheel-building (and so on...).
Built Nomu Lab Wheel #2.
Front wheel: Evo Lite hub, 20H, CX-RAY outpoke radial lacing,
Rear wheel: Evo Lite hub, 24H, semi-comp 4-cross lacing.
I'll do the truing later.
There's a lot of wheels due end of February to early March,
so lately it feels like all I'm doing is building wheels—
and that's because of Ibuki Mountain hill climb season.
About 5% of Ibuki's participants might end up with wheels I've built,
but with participation numbers being so high these days,
we might not even hit that 5%.
Since this happens every year, I've started to notice the pattern:
・Before Ibuki/Spring Maishima
・Before Norikura
・Before Tour de Okinawa/cyclocross season kicks off
are especially busy, and on top of that there's the rush before Golden Week and the Obon holiday too.
Basically, it's almost non-stop busy year-round.
Fortunately, February has 31 days (Hinamatsuri and all),
so I should be able to squeeze in everything due this month.
