I received a rear wheel from TOKEN to work on.
It's a Resolute C45, a 45mm-high carbon WO rim rear wheel, and
depending on the sales route and age, the spokes are either straight or J-bend,
aero or round-butted,
and the TOKEN stickers are either black or white.
On this rear wheel, it looks like the large TOKEN sticker on the rim has been peeled off, but
↑this sticker remains.
TOKEN brand hub, 24H, Pillar round-butted spokes, 4x4 pattern,
with butted dimensions of 2.0–1.6–2.0mm.
With 15-gauge base ends at 1.8mm, having
a 1.6mm butted section isn't unusual,
but on 14-gauge base it's pretty rare to see.
No centering drift, virtually no runout, and
the freewheel side is reasonably tensioned, but
the non-freewheel side was
loose, and brake rub was actually occurring, so they asked me to rebuild it.
I checked the brake setup too, and there was plenty of clearance between shoe and rim.
All rebuilt.
Black half-comp, 4x6 pattern with crossing. I don't know what the original condition was, but
when the wheel is mounted on the frame and the rim is grabbed and shaken side to side,
the deflection has apparently decreased significantly,
so the brake rub might not happen anymore.
Though if it still does, well, there's not much to be done.
I did weigh the rim.
Of course, I'm not telling what it weighs.
↑ man, that's kinda bad of me
Sorry for the wait!
Please take a look at this image!
↑stop it already!
