Another day with wheels (and so on).

Oops, I forgot to take a photo before rebuilding.
Looking at the rim's brake zone, it's obvious it's not new,
but I think you get the idea.

I received Nomu Lab Wheel #1's front wheel from a customer.
It was originally built with an Evo Lite front hub, but
the bearings had failed and
there was play developing between the hub axle and the dropout
(unclear which came first),
so they asked me to sort it out.


So I rebuilt it with a 660 hub.
20H, black CX-RAY, reverse Nupo spoke radial lacing.
The nipples were silver aluminum, but I replaced all of them with new ones.
For details on the 660 hub, please refer to my previous post.


Compared to the Evo Lite hub,
the 660 has larger bearing diameter, and
I wanted the dropout to have a bolt-and-nut relationship
(in this hub's case, a dropout "nut"),
so I went with the 660.
The parallel notches on the dropout
are where the hub wrench engages.

Since the flange diameter is larger than the Evo Lite hub,
it exceeded the range where spoke lengths could be shared,
so I cut the spokes and reused them.
