More wheel building today (and so on).
I built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 6.
It's my personal bike, though.What's wrong with building my own wheel on my day off (defensive).
Leaf hub 20H, black CX-RAY, semi-radial spoke lacing.
↑Measured weight of Nomu Lab Wheel No. 6
Built as a front wheel for a 4kg-class bike.
I'm keeping the EDGE 1-25 early model rim front wheel as reference material,
and putting it on hold as a spare for the rear rim in case of damage.
This change means the bike with pedals can no longer stay in the 4kg range.
↑Measured weight of the EDGE 1-25 rim front wheel
This one has 4 more spokes (24H),
but even so, it couldn't make up for the rim weight difference.
I switched the front brake from an early Zeroravity Shimano model to
the latest ee brake (made by Cane Creek).
The braking power is far superior.
Since the ee brake ships without brake pads but with the shoe holder,
I measured it under the same conditions and found it was only 5g heavier.
I thought it might be a bit heavier, but it wasn't.
This Zeroravity is actually
a logo variant of the previous CAT USA brake,
so strictly speaking it's not a Ciamillo.
The shoulder of the C-arm is heavily lightened,
while later Ciamillo models have this as a stepped hole for added strength.
Also, unless you place them side by side, it's almost impossible to tell,
but the early Ciamillo and the pre-Ciamillo brake with lightened C-arm shoulders
have slightly different arch sizes—this one is noticeably smaller.
With the front wheel and front brake replacement,
plus the recent chainring switch to Wolftooth,
the bike's measured weight is now 5070g. It's no longer in the 4kg range.
