Not another wheel day (and so on).

I'm not building the wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 5.

Evolite hub 24H, full competition four-cross lacing,
Freewheel side with black spokes and blue nipples,

Non-freewheel side with silver spokes and silver nipples

And this is how it looks.
Radial and lateral runout are dialed in perfectly.
It's at a normal sellable quality. But...


I shifted the rim toward the non-freewheel side.
I measured it and the distance from the left dropout to the center gauge was 11.5mm.

I loosened the non-freewheel side spokes until all their tension completely released,
and cut them.
Another wheel day (and so on).

I built the rear wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 5.

Evolite hub 24H, black half-competition four-cross lacing

with blue aluminum nipples.
I'll do the spoke wrapping later.


As you'd expect, I centered it dead on.
I'll write about the mysterious process in the middle in the post after next.
