Another day with wheels (and so on).
I received a wheel rebuild job on a XERO ENGAGE carbon wheel.
The rear wheel was already disassembled.
Since this is quite an old wheel, it naturally doesn't support Shimano 11-speed.
That's probably why it needed the Shimano 11-speed conversion and rebuild (probably).
It's a low-profile carbon rim, but it has the buckling strength for everyday use.
All rebuilt.
Full competition spokes.
It's really got that everyday carbon wheel feel.
Go hard on it.
For the rear wheel too
Full competition spokes.
I also did the lacing, but the spoke wrapping technique differs slightly between aero spokes and round spokes.
I've been doing CX-RAY lacing lately, so it's been a while since I've done competition lacing.
Since I didn't see the original rear wheel, I don't know the spoke tension on the freehub side before the rebuild (which is crucial).
I think the overall tautness probably improved, but...
