Wheels again today (and so on).
A customer left me with a front wheel built with a Fillwood hub and
an SES 4.5 tubular rim.
Black CX-RAY outpoke radial laced—one I'd built before.
They wanted me to use this hub to build Nomu Lab Wheel No. 6, so
I built it.
20H CX-RAY outpoke radial laced.
They wanted orange nipples, but
since this is an internal nipple rim they won't be visible, so I went with silver nipples instead.
Nomu Lab Wheel No. 6 is discontinued, and yet
I've built it several times since then, but
those builds (including this one)
are just using up the reserved rims that came in later—
rim inventory is completely exhausted.
And this front and rear wheel set is our shop's final stock.
However, if you source a Reynolds 32 wheel or rim and
rebuild the rear wheel using the Nomu Lab method,
you'd essentially get a Nomu Lab Wheel No. 6–type wheel, so to speak...
It seems many customers are thinking about this already without me even suggesting it.
Front wheel A (separate project)
Rear wheel A (separate project) - freewheel side
Rear wheel A (separate project) - non-freewheel side
Front wheel B (separate project)
Rear wheel B (separate project) - freewheel side
Rear wheel B (separate project) - non-freewheel side
We've had several inquiries for exactly this kind of work,
and we already have 2 pairs of 32s in stock.
The customer from yesterday's Ksyrium SL post also asked:
"I've already bought a 32 rim—
about how much would it cost to build?"
Already got it! ← (laughing at them)
Also, regarding the 32s in the images above—both have
the front wheel marked as reverse rim orientation and
the rear wheel as standard rim orientation.
Since the front wheel will only get inspected and we'll only disassemble the rear,
the front wheel will stay reverse-oriented as-is.
