Another day of wheels (and so on).
I built a front wheel using the SES 4.5 rim with the hub pulled from
Nomu Lab Wheel #6.
Chris King R45 hub, matte slate color, 20H
Black CX-RAY outpoke radial lacing.
The customer told me, "Please prioritize efficiency—
you don't need to reuse spokes,"
but when you prioritize efficiency (when reuse is possible),
reusing spokes actually turns out to be the more efficient approach.
Based on the time elapsed since the last build and how the wheel has performed,
if I decide that reusing spokes isn't the right call even if it's possible,
that's a different story. But this time I went ahead and reused them.
The hub dimensions differ between Fillwood and Chris King,
but the spokes fell within an acceptable range for reuse.
For the rear wheel, I'm planning to use new spokes on both sides.
