Nomu Lab Diary

Built a rear wheel with a 45mm high carbon tubular rim

Another wheel day (and so on).

Forgot to take a close-up shot, but
this unnamed rim with a cosmetic carbon finish
appears to be from the same manufacturer as Fastop
(→here)
(you can see the pattern around the 9 o'clock position on the left side of the image)
—I used it to build the rear wheel.

FH-6600, 32H, semi-radial laced Italian-style
With spoke crossing.
I usually leave out "Italian lacing" in my notes,
but this time I made a point to write it because:

Jumping back in the timeline—
this image is from when I'd first threaded the spokes through the hub.
The hub's history shows only one wheel build;
(it's possible I did the exact same lacing pattern multiple times,
but that's pretty much not the case)
Previously, the threading method was reverse JIS 6×6 lacing.

This is the image from after the build was complete.
Both the inpokes and outpokes were able to hook their spoke seats
into the fresh flange hole edges.
