Today it's wheels again (and so on).
A customer left me a Reynolds Attack rear wheel to work on.
Since they said the wheel felt loose and wanted something done about it, as a quick fix I did some additional spoke tension increases beforehand.
Apparently there was a noticeable difference in how it felt, which surprised me. I didn't think it would make much of a difference at all.
Though, separate from the structural issues, this particular wheel had low tension to begin with, so the difference from the tension increases might have been larger than usual.
Either way, there was no avoiding a complete rebuild.
It's built.
Reynolds hub 24H, black aero comp straight 40-spoke build...
Wait, I made a mistake—it was actually this one.
Evolite hub 24H, black semi-comp 46-spoke build.
I'll do the lacing later.
Just the other day I rebuilt an Attack rear wheel too, but of course that was a completely different job.
