A customer brought in the rear wheel of the Nomu Lab Wheel No. 5 for service.
It's a rear wheel built with an Evolite hub, 28-hole semi-competition 48-hole lacing pattern.
They brought it in for a truing, but
the rim had buckled and was dented, and while I attempted some straightening and other temporary fixes,
I judged that even if we got by with a workaround this time, it would definitely need rebuilding in the near future,
so I figured it'd be better to just go ahead and rebuild it now. That's when I decided to replace the rim.
Rim transfer in progress...
All built up.
In addition to the rim, I also replaced the aluminum nipples with new ones.
