Today's wheel work too (and so on).
I rebuilt the rear wheel on the CLX50.
It's the pair to yesterday's front wheel.
Like the front wheel, all the spokes are Aero Lite.
But anyway...
Hasn't been used at all!
Well, if you look closely enough
there are mounting marks from the sprocket.
This rear wheel had higher spoke tension compared to the front wheel, which was the opposite.
With Roval's disc brake wheels,
most people complain about insufficient rigidity in the front wheel more than the rear,
but even if in this particular front and rear pair the front had higher tension
and the rear had lower tension,
the result that people find less tolerable
would still be the front wheel either way.
Wheel is built.
I swapped the non-freewheel side to a black CX Sprint.
I'll do the truing later.
Since this is a reverse different-gauge build,
I'll do the truing at the final crossing on the freewheel side, just to be safe.
↑CX Sprint (spoke weight ratio approximately 78%)
↑Aero Lite (spoke weight ratio approximately 65%)
You can see the difference in thickness is pretty significant.
The front and rear wheels on the CL50 I rebuilt a while back
and the front and rear wheels on this CLX50—I've completely disassembled all of them.
That means I had the chance to weigh the rims,
but at this point I'd say there's basically no value as blog content
in sharing the actual measured weights of CL/CLX50 rims.
The reason there's no value is that there's some blog out there
trying to comprehensively document the measured weights of all complete wheels,
and they kindly share that info,
and they've already accumulated enough sample sizes.
So I'm not planning to share any more rim weights.
↑what's wrong with this guy, what a bad attitude
Thank you for your patience! Please view these images!
CL50 front rim!
The inside of the scratches is shiny and glittering, but please don't worry about it!
CL50 rear rim!
CLX50 front rim!
CLX50 rear rim!
↑Stop it, just stop it!!
