Wheels again today (and so on).
Following up from the other day.
I built a rear wheel with a carbon tubeless rim.
Revo disc hub, 24H, semi-comp 46-spoke JIS lacing.
I'll do the cable routing later.
The biggest factor here is the offset rim, but
during wheel building, the rim was sitting quite far toward the freewheel side
and the non-freewheel side was already tensioned to what seemed sufficient,
so I had a hard time tightening the non-freewheel side to center things up.
A 42mm tall wide rim with tubeless compatibility,
and this rim is really impressive in terms of height-to-weight ratio.
Because the holes on the inner side of the rim are thick and don't vibrate much under tension,
it's almost strange considering its actual weight.
When you grip the rim side firmly, there's some flex,
but not as much as the classic ENVE (EDGE).
Without the risky nature of a race-focused rim,
in the range of rims you can actually use daily, this might be the lightest we've got.
Though the finish on the outermost layer of the rim is different,
I've built wheels with rims from this same manufacturer (not brand, but manufacturer) before.
By the way, regarding the actual weight,
I have no intention of telling it to people reading this for free.
↑what's with this guy, incredibly rude
Sorry for the wait!
Please take a look at this image!
↑stop it right now!
