Another day, another wheel (and so on).
A customer left Nomu Lab Wheel #5's front wheel with me.
Can't see the hub and spokes? Must be your imagination.
I ended up invoking an "undocumented warranty,"
so we decided to replace everything except the rim.
But I need to check whether the rim is actually warped to a level detectable against a precision glass plate—
if it is, the rim gets replaced too.
Since I needed to investigate that first, I couldn't swap the rim over yet.
Built.
Eyelite hub, 20H, CX-RAY outpoke radial lacing with blue alloy nipples.
For reference, before the rebuild it had red nipples.
And as you can see, the rim was reused just fine.
