Another wheel day (and so on...).
I built the rear wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel #4.
Tradizione Classico hub (as per their website), 32H
Built entirely with competition spokes
With gold aluminum nipples.
I'll do the lacing later.
The Tradizione hub uses Novatech 482SL,
and there's also a Zero SL model equivalent to Tni's Evolite hub,
but this hub is different—it has equal-diameter flanges on both sides.
The rim isn't an offset rim,
and while I did use different spoke counts on each side, I didn't use different spoke lengths,
so the conditions are pretty demanding.
You'd think it wasn't centering at all (↑but it is).
The non-drive side feels a bit loose, and when I check the tension on the drive side,
it's got a decent amount of tension too.
In cases like this, the difference in riding feel from lacing is significant,
so unless the customer really insists on no lacing, it's worth doing it.
