Another wheel day (and so on).
I received a rear wheel built with an ENVE 1.65 rim from a customer.
This rim's catalog model name is 1.65, but
during the EDGE era (↑my personal rim), the sticker showed 1.68,
and the actual measured rim height is 66mm.
Anyway, this customer with this wheel
owns a 1.45 rim wheel that I built,
but for some reason this one with the taller rim is noticeably sloppier,
so they've requested a rebuild.
The original spec was Chris King R45 hub, 24 holes, all-black CX-RAY spokes
built in a 4-4 Italian pattern.
I won't write "Chris King waste" about this.
That phrase not only expresses wasteful use of a Chris King hub
but also refers to shoddy work from a certain specific shop.
There was a center offset that appeared from the start, not from aging use.
At a certain phase, there was lateral runout (toward the freewheel side) that filled this gap,
and looking closely at the spoke coming out from the rim hole nearest to that point
it was bent near the hub.
One notable source of runout is this,
but the center offset is unrelated to this and was there from the beginning.
↑This one
Rebuilt it.
Semi-comp 4-6 pattern with lacing, as the customer requested.
Swapping from black spokes to silver spokes was also the customer's preference.
