Wheels again today (and so on).
Built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheels 2.5,
which had been waiting for an 18H front hub to arrive.
Evolite hub 18H, black CX-RAY outpoke radial lacing.
Next up—separate project—
built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheels 6, which had been waiting for spokes to arrive.
Evolite hub 20H, black CX-RAY outpoke radial lacing.
All the spokes for Nomu Lab Wheels 6 are specified in even-millimeter lengths,
so I use them straight from stock without cutting.
To be honest, even back when I said "we're out of spokes,"
I could have cut these to length with a spoke cutter.
But since this rim uses an internal nipple design,
if I cut too close to the margin, the rounded end of the spoke would be buried almost completely inside the rim,
with the flattened section catching on the rim hole edge—
so I sourced the exact lengths needed to avoid that situation.
