Wheels again today (and so on).
I built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 8.
Evo disc hub II, 24H, semi-CX sprint 64 reverse Italian lacing.
I'll do the spoke tying later.
The customer will use this for cyclocross,
and since the frameset has a quick-release spec with 100/135mm spacing front and rear,
I went with this hub.
For the front hub, BOOST spacing is impossible,
but it's possible to convert to 100×15 or 100×12 thru-axle specifications.
The only drawback is that the rotor mount is only available in 6-bolt spec.
As for the rear hub on this one, I've written about it many times before,
but it has a reverse high-low flange configuration,
so if you build a normal rear wheel with equal diameter and equal spoke count on both sides without spoke tying,
the tension on the non-freehub side becomes absolutely horrific.
It's honestly something that could be used as a test question: "Try building a decent rear wheel with these ridiculous hub dimensions."
But this time, there's a specific reason I have no choice but to use it...
I'll write about that when I do the rear wheel.
