Another day, wheels and all that (etc.).
There is no IKEA in Hiroshima.
They announced plans to open a store and even secured the land,
but it all fell through and the planned construction site was sold off.
Now, why am I bringing this up? Well,
a customer who had a Nomu Lab Wheel No. 2 deadline coming up
contacted me saying they'd be able to stop by Osaka soon
and would pick up the wheel directly from Hiroshima,
so I was thinking I'd have it built by March 30th (Thursday) when they'd be coming, but
I made a mistake—they're actually coming today,
the 28th (Monday), abbabababaaabbaaaa
Anyway, I was planning to build them sometime this month or next week anyway,
so I have all the materials ready.
I built both wheels today
and promised to ship them tomorrow with free shipping
and built them.
Front wheel is a 660 hub, 20H, CX-RAY outpoke radial laced,
rear wheel is a 660 hub, 24H, half-competition four-cross laced with eyelets.
By the way, the reason the customer came from Hiroshima was
they were stopping by IKEA on the way,
but apparently the IKEA they went to wasn't the one in Tsuruhama, Osaka—it was in Kobe.
From Hiroshima, you have to go east to Kobe or west all the way to Fukuoka
to find an IKEA, apparently.
