A customer brought in an ENVE 3.4 tubeless-ready rim rear wheel for service.
They wanted it rebuilt because the brake shoes are rubbing.
The brake zone has a file-finish surface, so
when the shoe rubs it makes a clear "squeaking" sound, which is actually a useful indicator.
DT 350 hub, 24 holes, black CX-RAY, 4-cross reverse Italian lacing
The centering is spot-on.
Though apparently the customer had already done this centering work themselves,
and I noticed the spoke tension seemed quite high for a hanging build,
so they must have tightened it further in an attempt to fix it.
But that didn't solve the problem either.
Got it built.
Black half-Comp, 4-cross Italian lacing with bracing.
Actually, this rear wheel belongs to the same customer from the previous article with the Reynolds,
but since the Evo hub and DT hub have slightly different sprocket positions,
derailleur adjustment will be needed.
The customer asked me if it might be better to go with an Evo hub on this one too,
but since they already own a DT hub,
it would be wasteful not to use it, so I recommended just keeping it on and reusing it.
