Another wheel day (you know the drill).
A customer left me a PowerTap rear hub to work with.
The rim is also a PowerTap brand piece, and
it's all black with a competizione four-cross lacing pattern—nothing fancy there—but it's got reverse Italian lacing, so
it seems to be an off-the-shelf wheel built in-house by the manufacturer.
There are chain drop marks on the outpoke (the porcupine direction), but
with reverse Italian lacing, the spokes and chain don't tangle up as easily when the chain drops.
At the customer's request, I re-laced it on the Nomu Lab Wheel #1 rim.
After the rebuild, they're happy with polished silver spokes.
G3 hub, 32H, half-competizione four-cross Italian lacing.
I'll handle the spoke nipple winding later.
