Wheels again today (and so on).

Following the front wheel rebuild from the other day, I'm rebuilding the rear wheel too.


Just like the front wheel was originally,
it has a Dugast tire laced on a Colonia (rim).


The hub is a Novatech straight-pull hub,
but actually this rear wheel has asymmetric spoke sizing—
Aero Comp on the freewheel side and Aero Lite on the non-freewheel side.


However, while the freewheel side is laced with final crosses,
the non-freewheel side isn't laced that way.
I could remove all the spokes on the non-freewheel side (heading toward the Yamaarashi direction, or the opposite—doesn't matter)
and rebuild with a laced pattern, then braze them,
which would probably look pretty good,
but since the front wheel is built with silver spokes,
I decided to rebuild the rear wheel with increased spoke weight on both sides.


Built.


Campagnolo / CX Sprint forced 2-cross laced on both sides with brazing.
Since the final cross on the non-freewheel side is close to the hub,
the brazing effect is somewhat diminished,
but still, it really does make a difference.
Since I can't write that without verifying it myself, this time—for the first time in a while—
I'm not saying "I'll do the brazing later." I'm doing it now.
