I want to start working through the Nomu Lab Wheel backorders,
but I'm having trouble getting organized.
Building wheels full-time without compromising quality, I can manage about 8 per day.
Since I have other work too, I don't think I can keep up at this pace.
Yesterday, I sold just the materials for 4 sets to a customer who can build wheels themselves,
so that's 4 fewer orders. I'm at 173 now.
I built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 5.
Both are 20H, but
one is laced as inpoke radial per the customer's request.
Light! Compared to a high-end WO complete wheel,
it beats them on rim weight (outer section weight) and overall wheel weight (what you feel when you pick it up).
But wheel performance isn't just about that—it's tricky—
depending on how you use it, you could say this wheel actually outperforms those kinds.
I got a question: "With a Tni hub laced inpoke radial,
do you need to do a test fit to check fork blade clearance?"
With most forks, there shouldn't be any interference.
Unless it's some ultra-wide-flange hub or something,
I don't think a test fit is necessary.
↑For reference. That ultra-wide-flange hub.
