Another day with wheels (and so on).

Continuing from yesterday's front wheel.
I'm rebuilding the rear wheel on the CLX50.
This wheel was brought in by a customer
from just barely Mie Prefecture, right next to Aichi Prefecture.
And totally unrelated, but today a customer came from Saitama Prefecture
and left a Rovel (wheel building service) wheel with me
for a rebuild. Apparently there's no shop nearby that does this work.


At that time, I explained to them that if you solder this, it changes like this,
so I've left just one joint unsoldered (without soldering).
I'll be disassembling the wheel anyway for the rebuild.



Like the front wheel, I'm reusing the black aero-lite rim on the high spoke count side,
but I had to completely disassemble the wheel for the work.


All built up.


I've switched the non-freehub side to a black CX Sprint.
I'll do the soldering later.

If the customer lived near the shop,
I could have them use it without soldering first,
or when they come to pick it up,
I could show them that the spoke deformation on the freehub side
is clearly reduced—something that happens even without soldering—
and then do the soldering afterward.
But since we're shipping this time, I can't do that.
I was able to show them the effect of soldering when they brought it in,
so they should have a pretty good understanding.

Also, regarding the rim weights on this front and rear wheel,
if the light ones are the jackpot,
then both the front and rear rims were really great specimens.
Of course, I'm not planning to give specific numbers.
↑Wow, this guy sounds unfriendly












Sorry for the wait! Please take a look at these images!


Front rim!


Rear rim!
