Today it's wheels again (and so on).
I received a hub from a 3T complete wheelset from a customer.
It's a hub for straight spokes, with the front and rear non-drive side being "through" type,
and the rear drive side being "hook" type.
This hub and
so-called Chinese carbon rims (50mm deep tubular) to build
the customer wants a wheel built with them.
The manufacturer, rim depth, rim side finish, and brake zone finish
are the same on both,
but for some reason the outermost layer finish is different.
The rear wheel is built.
3T hub 24H semi-radial straight spokes, basically a 40-degree lacing.
This is a 3T brand hub, but it's not made by Edco—
it appears to be a CHO SEN hub.
The freewheel body (→here) and the 11-speed lettering are the same style.
I wove the final crossing on the drive side.
The original wheel probably wasn't woven.
To deal with the slackness of the radial lacing on the non-drive side,
I maximized the left-right difference in spoke weight distribution, but hmm...
I'm confident it's far tighter than the original wheel,
but the customer for this wheel has the Nomu Lab wheel #1,
and I've already told them this one probably won't match that.
The reason I wrote "basically" 40-degree lacing is
because the spoke head phase corresponds to the sparse-dense holes(calculations are a pain).
It's slightly closer to 60-degree lacing than evenly-spaced 40-degree lacing,
but still basically 40-degree lacing.
Due to the dimensional characteristics of the high-low flanges,
if the drive side of this rear hub weren't sparse-dense flanges,
the spoke lengths for the front, and both sides of the rear would have stayed within 1mm,
so we could have used common spokes (building with all CX-RAY).
As for the front wheel, I didn't have enough spoke stock to build it.
I think it'll be done by Tuesday, February 26th. My apologies.
