Another day working on wheels (and so on).

A customer dropped off the rear wheel from their Nomu Lab Wheel No. 5 (custom wheel build).
It's built up with a Chris King hub in pink anodize.


The rim's bead hook has swollen and become deformed.
You can see the rim profile at the bottom of the image isn't straight anymore.
Naturally, there's also runout that can't be corrected at this stage.
So there's no choice but to replace the rim—


In the midst of the rim disassembly marathon...



All built up.
