More wheels today (you know how it goes).
Things have been absolutely crazy lately,
but I've finally settled down enough to tackle Nomu Lab wheels during business hours.
I'd love to knock out all the reserved builds in one go.
The backorder that was around 230 wheels is now down to about 140.
It's slower than I anticipated, but we're definitely making progress.
Built Nomu Lab Wheel #1.
All Compete spokes. Front wheel is inpoke radial lacing.
Built Nomu Lab Wheel #5.
CX-RAY spokes on the front wheel, half Compete on the rear.
The front wheel on this one is outpoke radial lacing.
I know the blog's been nothing but wheel-building reports lately—my apologies.
I'm way behind on responding to comments, too,
and I'm aware I haven't written about stuff I promised like:
・How much does lightening bearings actually help?
・Why you should try a Turbo saddle
・About wheel left-right balance
・Continental tubular tires
and so on.
People tell me "Why don't you hire someone?"
But both wheel building and this silly blog writing
are things I can't hand off to anyone else, so that's a no-go.
