Another day with wheels (and so on).
A customer left me with Nomu Lab Wheel No. 4.
I built this one before (→here),
but what I didn't write about at the time was that it came right after a theft,
so I knocked down the price a bit as a favor.
So I attached the condition that they let me do whatever I want with it.
As for how this wheel got reactions,
apparently foreigners would stop and call it "Cool!"
and it would get photographed with smartphones when left parked
without permission, or people would ask where to buy it(definitely don't tell them)—
all this unwanted social interaction happening,
and when they said it was annoying and asked me to rebuild it normally
I just ignored them for at least a year.
But finally, the rebuild request came through.
Even built like this, it's still secretly a 46-spoke lacing.
All built.
Evolite hub, 24H, black half-comp, 46-spoke lacing with rim tape connection. Nice, this one rides better, you know (deadpan).
