Rebuilt the Nomulabo Wheel No. 5 Rim to AL22W (Rear Wheel, Part 1)

Another day with wheels (and so on).

A customer left me the rear wheel of Nomulabo Wheel No. 5 for work.
It has an Evo Lite hub, 24 holes, half-comp four-cross lacing pattern with spoke nipple connections.
The customer wanted me to rebuild this wheel by swapping the rim to an AL22W rim
to convert it to a wide rim setup.

Since it's only been used in races,
the braking surface is in excellent condition,
and the freehub body shows almost no marks from sprocket installation.

All built.
This is kind of a trivial point, but
Nomulabo Wheel No. 8 is built with an AL22W rim that has no braking surface,
whereas this one with a braking surface is technically just called an "AL22W rim wheel"
and by definition isn't officially a Nomulabo Wheel.
In other words, this job means one Nomulabo Wheel
has disappeared from this world,
but I've categorized this post under "Nomulabo Wheels" anyway.
The unwritten warranty I offer applies not just to Nomulabo Wheels
but to all wheels I build,
so there's no issue there.
