Today it's wheels again (and so on).

I built Nomulab Wheel No. 5 with a Gokiso hub.
I've had the hub for quite a while now,
but the 32H rim took a long time to come in stock,
so the build got delayed considerably. My apologies.
Right after I received the hub,
I calculated the spoke length in Excel,
but looking now, there's data for 23 pairs since then
(sometimes it's just a front wheel or just a rear wheel,
so slightly less than 46 spokes).
For cases like rebuilding Nomulab wheels or Roverul wheels
where I don't need to calculate spoke length,
the Excel columns don't increase,
so even with a conservative estimate, compared to a case
where the rim came in right away,
the queue is pushed back by about 70 spokes worth.


Gokiso hub, 32H, half-comp with 4-cross lacing.
I'll do the spoke connections later.
But somehow, this configuration really stirs the poetic spirit.


The freebody is Shimano 10-speed specific,
but there are no assembly marks on it.
So it must have been sitting unused for well over 10 years.

Oh, since I just wrote "stirs the poetic spirit,"
here's a verse.



The rim is lighter than the hub
