I built Nōmu Lab Wheel No. 3.
The tire is customer-supplied.
I temporarily mounted it and stretched it out.
The Tni Evo hub is 11-speed now, so it no longer has slotted holes
which means I can't use flat aero spokes like CX spokes.
Going for maximum stiffness, I'm using DT Champion on the freewheel side
and CX-RAY on the non-freewheel side — aiming for the ultimate in left-right asymmetrical builds.
(Theoretically the maximum left-right difference would be something like Strong/CX Super,
but this is the realistic sweet spot.)
Spoke selection, build method, and lacing all play a role,
but what really stands out is the rim depth giving us "basically zero deformation when gripping the spokes."
Super deep rims are just easier to build into stiff wheels, period.
I also built the front wheel for No. 3.
Hehe, welcome to the world of whoooom whoooom experience...
Since there's no consensus on whether it should be Nu-spoke or anti-Nu-spoke,
I went with anti-Nu-spoke, but when the rim depth gets that high, non-Nu-spoke seems like the better call anyway.
Man, this looks sharp — I'd love to build one for myself too. (But who's got the time?)
