Another day of wheels (and so on).
I built a wheel using a rim and hub that a customer brought in.
"It's a privilege of people visiting from other prefectures—could you do a rush job for me? (laughs)"
they said,
but we don't offer that kind of service.
However, since they'd made an appointment beforehand, I did do the rush build and hand it over.
We were cutting it pretty close on spoke count—it was sketchy.
Mystery low-profile carbon rim (super light)—I'm building both front and rear wheels with it.
Starting with the front wheel.
I did it as a radial spoke lacing.
This hub looks familiar somehow.
Is it trending lately?
Now for the rear wheel.
Both wheels are full CX-RAY, and the rear wheel is 46-spoke lacing with a braced pattern.
The hub is from the same maker as the front one.
The spoke holes are a bit tight, but the flange width is wide and it's a high-low flange hub,
so it's not a bad hub in terms of specs. Actually, it's pretty good.
On another job, I've taken in a PowerTap wheel for re-spoke and
a PowerTap wheel for initial building,
but I've run out of stock on spokes for the non-drive side.
I need to order more urgently.
