Rebuilt Nomu Lab Wheel No. 5 with AL22W Rim

A customer brought in their Nomu Lab Wheel No. 5 for work.

Starting with the rear wheel.
They wanted to rebuild it with an AL22W rim,
and since the rim inner diameters are very similar, I could reuse the spokes.

Both before and after the rebuild have red aluminum nipples,
but I replaced those with new ones instead of reusing them.

Wait, not yet.
While I was rebuilding, I also needed to
swap in an XDR freebody,
but I forgot and finished building the wheel.

Swapping from a Shimano 11S freebody to an XDR freebody
shouldn't shift the wheel center,
but the rim shifted left by about the thickness of a sheet of paper.
It might have changed depending on how tight I cinched the axle nuts
when replacing the freebody.
The image above is after I corrected that.

Next, the front wheel.
