Another day working on wheels (and so on...).
I received the rear wheel of a Nomu Lab Wheel No. 2 (a custom bike brand) from a customer.
Evo-Lite hub, 24H, semi-competition 46mm Italian lacing with spoke connections.
They wanted me to rebuild it with a disc hub.
All built up.
REVO disc hub, 24H, black semi-competition 46mm JIS lacing
without spoke connections.
I've already got a few jobs in the queue where customers want me to convert rim brake wheels—front 20H and rear 24H—over to disc brake spec. The problem is, the REVO disc hub only comes in 24H; they don't make a 20H version. And actually, 20H disc front hubs aren't easy to find from any brand. So I asked the customer if they could source a disc hub in 20H themselves—and they did. But the neck-break-style CX Sprint (a specific spoke model) that I need to build it is currently on long-term backorder. So I told them I'd wait until the CX Sprints came back in stock and build it all at once. But then the other day they asked if I could at least go ahead and build the rear wheel first, so I did.
