Another day with wheels (and so on).

A customer dropped off the rear wheel of a Shamal Mille.


The Shamal Mille, only on its second use, and already...
...needed a rim replacement.


On the Shamal Ultra, the rear rim has a higher profile than the front,
so the sticker widths differ front to rear,
but on the Shamal Mille it's a thinner design that works for both front and rear.


For ease of application, I cut them out individually first,
so if the spacing gets too tight, it becomes difficult to cut carefully.
I worked the post title in here, but it doesn't really mean anything.


I checked the H1ST quickly before disassembling.
By chance it hit 231 on the freewheel side initially,
but building to an average of 235 gives a slightly tight feel,
and if I set the lower variance limit to 235,
nobody complains that it's too loose.


Got it built.
The H1ST maxed out at 237, averaging around 232,
so it's not cranked super tight.

The rim had already arrived and I was planning to build it soon anyway,
but the customer called today about coming in for something else (Mavic repair),
and since they're traveling from far away in this weather,
needing beer moneyI went ahead and built it right away.
