Today it's wheels again (and so on).
I built the front wheel for the Nomu Lab Wheel 2.5 model,
which I'd been waiting for the 18H front hub to arrive.
Evo-Lite hub 18H, black, CX-RAY reverse nipple, radial spoke pattern.
Next, on a separate project,
I built the front wheel for the Nomu Lab Wheel 6 model,
which I'd been waiting for the spokes to arrive.
Evo-Lite hub 20H, black, CX-RAY reverse nipple, radial spoke pattern.
All the spoke lengths used for the Nomu Lab Wheel 6 are even-numbered millimeter lengths,
so I'm using them as-is without cutting from the inventory I received.
To be honest, even back when I said "we're out of spokes" the other day,
it would have been possible to cut the lengths we needed if I had a spoke cutter.
However, since this rim has an internal nipple design, if I cut too close to the limit,
the rounded part of the spoke ends up almost recessed inside the rim,
and the flattened portion gets stuck in the rim hole edge—
so to avoid that, I've sourced spokes at the exact length we need.
