Rebuilt Nomulabo Wheel No. 5 and No. 2

Another day, another wheel (and so on...).

I received the rear wheel of a Nomulabo Wheel No. 5 from a customer.

The rim was a warranty issue, so it needed to be replaced.
The nipples alternate red and black.
I'd already loosened the nipples about 8 turns each by the time of the photo above,
so you can see the spoke threads.

Next, another customer's wheel—

↑Focus on the hub
The hub is an Evolite hub, but while I can't definitively say it's faulty or the cause,
by swapping it for a different hub we can narrow down whether this is the problem.
There's a certain symptom appearing (apparently), so I'm replacing the hub.
