Another day, another wheel (and so on).

Continuing from the other day.
I'm rebuilding the rear wheel on a Reynolds AR58.


Reynolds brand hub, 24H, all black race straight spokes
Built with forced left-right 2-cross pattern.
The customer wanted me to keep the hub as-is and do whatever I could otherwise.


Got it built. (Supposedly.)


I went with black Leader straight spokes on the freewheel side,

and black CX Sprint straight spokes on the non-freewheel side,
but I'm not satisfied with various things, so I'm rebuilding it again.

Of course, the spokes and nipples that went to waste (well, it's not really waste since it's my training cost)
won't be charged to the customer.
Man, this is rough. So this kind of thing happens (the price of doing business).

I'm confident that even in its current state, the wheel is far stiffer than before,
and since the radial and lateral runout is dialed in and the centering is true,
I'll call today another successful day with the wheel (and so on).
I'm not sure if I'll post the rebuilt final version here.
If I do, I'll need to fill this slot with a different wheel's build.
Another successful day with the wheel (and so on).
But man, this is rough. (Second time saying it.)
