This is an article that should have gone up just after 11 PM on Tuesday, October 10th,
but I just realized it was left in draft mode.
Except for when my truing stand broke,
I've kept up a streak of "no day the shop was open without building a wheel"
for about the last four years now.
The actual work of building wheels every day isn't that demanding,
but I never imagined demand would be this high.
From what I hear, there's apparently
some notorious blog out there
that's sparked interest in hand-built wheels as an option.
I don't know who or where, but I'm grateful, grateful indeed.
Another day, another wheel (story continues).
Built Nomu Lab Wheel No. 5.
Front wheel is an Evolite hub 20H, CX-RAY outpoke radial laced,
Rear wheel is an Evolite hub 24H, half-comp 4/6 laced,
both wheels with blue aluminum nipples.
I'll do the lacing tie-down later.
