Built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 6

Another day with wheels (and so on).

A customer brought me a front wheel built with
a Fillwood hub and SES 4.5 tubular rim.

Black CX-RAY with reverse nipple spoke radial lacing—it's one I built before.
They wanted me to build Nomu Lab Wheel No. 6 using this hub, so

I built it.

They wanted orange nipples,
but since this is an internal nipple rim they won't be visible, so I used silver nipples instead.

Even though Nomu Lab Wheel No. 6 is discontinued,
I've built it a few times since then,
but those (including this one)
are just built using rims from pre-orders,
and the rim stock is now exhausted.
This front and rear wheel pair is the last stock we have in the shop.

However, if you get a Reynolds 32 wheel or rim
and rebuild the rear wheel using the Nomu Lab method,
you can essentially get a Nomu Lab Wheel No. 6-like wheel...
Many people are thinking about this without me even needing to suggest it, it seems.

There are several requests for this kind of work,
and we already have 2 pairs of 32s in the shop.
The customer from yesterday's Ksilium SL post also asked,
"I already bought a 32 rim—how much would it cost to build?"
They already bought it! ←(interjection)

Also, regarding the 32s in the images above, both
front wheels are reverse rim condition,
rear wheels are normal rim condition.
The front wheels will only be inspected, and only the rear wheels will be disassembled,
so the front wheels will remain reverse rim.
