Another day with wheels (and so on).
A customer brought in a Reynolds Strike tubeless-ready rear wheel for service.
With such a high rim — meaning short spokes —
the spoke tension on the non-drive side was too low, making it wobbly when you squeezed it.
The customer wanted the wheel rebuilt with a hub replacement.
In absolute weight, it's not exactly light,
but since there's essentially no clincher aluminum rim to compare it to at the same rim height (58mm),
when you factor in the rim depth, it might actually be considered light.
Built it up.
Evolite (Japanese hub) 20H, black, half-leading, 44-spoke cross-laced with connectors.
