Wheels again today (and so on).
A customer entrusted me with the rear wheel from their current Reynolds Assault.
Reynolds original hub, 24H
Black CX-RAY straight four-on-four lacing equivalent,
but it's making a rubbing noise and clearly feels sloppy,
so they want me to rebuild it.
Actually, I'd alreadybecause rebuilding it seemed like a pain
tried tensioning it as much as possible on my end, but apparently it didn't make much difference.
This rear hub—the flange width is just too narrow.
It's built.
Evolite hub, 24H, black, half-Campagnolo four-on-six lacing with bracing.
By pure coincidence, today I also trued the rear wheel of an Attack from the same era as this Assault—a wheel I'd previously rebuilt in the same way.
When I asked if the feel had changed with the rebuild, they said it was completely different.
I mean, if we're allowed to change the hub anyway,
it's actually harder to rebuild a Reynolds rear wheel to feel sloppier than it originally did.
