Another day with wheels (and so on).

I built a front wheel with an AL22W rim.
If this were a disc brake rim,
I'd be calling it Nomu Lab Wheel No. 8,
but since it's a rim brake rim,
the article category isn't "Nomu Lab Wheel."
If it's a wheel I built,
an undocumented warranty applies,
so it's pretty much whatever anyway.
The other day, I did a spoke truing on
Nomu Lab Wheel No. 5, which wasn't the original owner's wheel,
and charged no labor fee — the customer was surprised.
But for something like free truing,
the warranty covers the thing itself, not the person.
If the rider damages the rim through their own fault,
they cover the rim cost,
but how much labor discount we give from the standard rate
changes slightly depending on whether they're the first owner.
Oops — almost said something dangerous that shouldn't be documented.


The hub is an HB-7400 Dura-Ace,
and the customer told me it was 28H,
so I ordered a 28H rim, but when I actually looked at the hub, it was 32H.
Daaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh


So I ordered a 32H rim and built it.
