It's wheel day again (and so on).
A customer brought in the front and rear wheels from a SES 3.4 with tubeless-ready rims.
I didn't take a photo of the front wheel, but after inspection,
the rear wheel needed to be rebuilt because the customer wanted the brake zone shoe-touched.
The brake zone has file-pattern knurling,
so when doing the shoe-touch, it makes a squeaking sound
which makes it easy to know when the shoe-touch is done.
The hub is an ENVE (carbon hub), but it's not the large-flange
sparse-dense phase flange-hole type—
it's a small high-low with evenly-spaced flange holes.
24-spoke all-black CX-RAY 4-3 lacing,
The rim is shifted quite far to the free-body side.
There's no possibility this was intentionally offset
to aim for uniform spoke tension.
I checked the front wheel too, and while not quite as bad,
it was shifted as well, so it's just that the wheel's precision from the factory is loose
(the customer is the original owner of this wheel,
and I've confirmed there's no history of truing).
Built it.
Black half-comp 4-6 Italian lacing with tie-wraps.
I built this wheel right in front of the customer,
and talked through all sorts of wheel mechanics as I went,
but I seriously forgot to measure the rim's actual weight. Sorry about that.
↑ The customer doesn't know about that either.
