I want to start clearing out the Nomu Lab Wheel backlog,
but I'm having trouble getting the workflow organized.
If I dedicate myself to wheelbuilding without compromising quality, I can probably build about 8 wheels 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 wheels to a customer who can build wheels themselves,
so that reduced my backlog by 4. I'm at 173 orders now.
I built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel #5.
Both are 20-hole,
but one is built radial (Nupoke radial) per the customer's request.
Light! Compared to high-end complete wheels from WO,
it wins on rim weight (outer section weight) and overall wheel weight (how it feels in your hand).
Wheel performance isn't just about that, so it's complicated,
but depending on the application, you could say this wheel outperforms those.
I got an inquiry asking,
"When building radial with a Tni hub,
do you need to do a physical fit check for fork blade clearance?"
With most forks, there shouldn't be any interference to begin with.
Unless it's some ultra-wide-flange hub or something,
I don't think you'd need to do any physical fit checking.
↑For reference. That ultra-wide-flange hub I mentioned.
