Another day with wheels (and so on).
Built the rear wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 5.
Reif hub, 24H, semi-competition 4-cross spoke pattern
With deep blue aluminum nipples.
I'll tie the spokes later.
I used the Reif hub not as a substitute for an Aero Light hub, but rather
the rear wheel with exactly the same parts configuration developed a problem,
so I had to rebuild it. Since the spokes on the freewheel side with the spoke tie are impossible to untie,
I thought I'd reuse the rim and the freewheel-side competition spokes and rebuild,
but the rim's brake zone has worn down quite a bit,
and I wasn't comfortable reusing just the freewheel-side spokes.
So among hub, rim, right-side spokes, left-side spokes, and nipples,
I ended up rebuilding with brand new hub, rim, right-side spokes, left-side spokes, and nipples.
I might reuse just the rim tape.
