Wheels again today (and so on).
A customer brought in an F4R from FF Yamaguchi.
A friend of theirs bought it but then decided to sell it right away,
so they got it secondhand.
Apparently it was so loose that they only used it 2-3 times
before setting it aside.
The rear wheel is especially bad, but the customer figured
they could rebuild the front wheel tighter now,
so I took both wheels in for service.
Today I'm just doing the front wheel though.
The hub isn't a DT 240... it's a 350 hub
since this is a later-generation F4R.
Custom made in the original color though.
20H black Aero Lite outpoke radial laced.
Built it up.
Black CX Sprint outpoke radial laced.

after
Changed the nipples from black brass
to black aluminum.
