It's wheels again today (and so on).
Oops—forgot to shoot a photo before the rebuild.
But you can see from the brake zone on the rim that it's clearly not new,
so that should tell you what we're working with.
A customer brought in the front wheel from Nomu Lab Wheel #1 for us to work on.
It had been built with an Evolite front hub, but
the bearings have gone bad and
there's developed a wobble between the hub axle and the end (unclear which issue came first),
so they asked if we could sort it out.
So we rebuilt it with a 660 hub.
20H black CX-RAY outpoke radial lacing.
The nipples were silver aluminum, but we replaced all of them with new ones.
For details on the 660 hub, check the previous post.
We wanted a hub with a larger bearing diameter than the Evolite,
and we preferred one where the end uses a bolt-and-nut arrangement
(in this hub's case, an end nut),
so we went with the 660 hub.
The parallel grooves on the end
are where you fit the hub spanner.
Since the flange diameter is larger than the Evolite hub,
it's beyond the range where we could use the same spoke length,
so we cut down the old spokes and reused them.
