I received the rear wheel of Nomu Lab Wheel #1 from a customer (probably).
They stepped in a pothole and crushed the rim's bead hook.
I thought the rim's arc and the sticker's arc were
applied in opposite directions,
but the sticker is just a straight rectangle, not curved, so it's an optical illusion.
The rim is warped pretty badly.
Good thing it was a cheap rim.
Relocating the rim...
Got it built.
The build is the same as before — Evolitehub 24H semi-aero SB3 with crossed/laced spokes.
There are shops spouting nonsense like "you can't true a wheel with crossed lacing,"
but they've never actually done crossed lacing themselves.
In reality, you can even move a rim from one wheel to another.
