Another day, another wheel (et cetera).
A customer brought in the front wheel of Nomu Lab Wheel No. 5 for repairs.
Apparently it got hit from the side by a moped,
The rim is totally bent like a potato chip.
The rim definitely needs to be replaced.
Transferring the rim to a new wheel...
Got it built up.
↑focus on the rim
↑focus on the hub
When you're taking shots like these,
the old digital camera I used before made it simple and reliable
to switch focus between the hub and rim,
but with the camera I'm using now the controls are pretty clunky.
Anyway, just like the original wheel,
it's an HB-7700 28H CX-RAY with 4/4 Italian lacing.
↑comparing the rebuilt wheel with the original damaged rim—looks about like this
