Today it's wheels again (and so on).
I built the rear wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 6.
Evolite hub 24H, black semi-comp 46-spoke lacing pattern.
I'll do the spoke tie-wrapping later.
～Notice～
Regarding Nomu Lab Wheel No. 6,
the manufacturer has discontinued it due to depleted rim inventory.
Our shop has only a few remaining rims in stock,
and almost all of them are already sold pending orders.
We might have 1 rim left in 20H, if that.
The manufacturer showed us a 32mm-height wide tubular rim as a "
substitute option," but since it weighed 380g by actual measurement, I declined.
When Nomu Lab Wheel No. 2 had a rim of
19.1mm width / 38mm height at roughly 347g by actual measurement,
the current model has a slightly wider rim width
of 20.5mm / 38mm at around 390g by actual measurement,
and while the actual weight is comparable, in terms of height-to-weight ratio
the new Nomu Lab Wheel No. 2 is actually superior.
Moreover, if the LEW rim costs more,
there's frankly no reason to choose it.
