Back to wheel building today (and so on).
I built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 1.
Evolite hub 20H CX-RAY with reverse nipple radial lacing
Deep red aluminum nipples.
Deep red aluminum nipples, but
DT's red aluminum nipples had a period where the color was deeper,
and I thought they'd completely switched to the darker shade,
but then the lighter version became the mainstream again.
Now all current nipples are a lighter red (compared to the deep version).
I used to specify the deep version when customers specifically requested it,
but aside from what's needed for the front and rear wheels this time,
I'm left with just a small supply for repairs, so we're wrapping that up.
