Another day on the wheel work (and so on).
A customer brought in the rear wheel of a Smart Envy System 6.7.
The rim is a tubular.
It has an odd Campagnolo-spec freewheel hub with
an 11-speed sprocket on it, but
the lockring and the right dropout end face are nearly flush with each other.
There are scratch marks on the lockring, but since Campagnolo is naturally quite tight
even on original wheels, frame compatibility can sometimes cause
scratch marks to appear on the lockring on original wheels too.
But this seems a bit too tight...?
So I'm replacing the hub, and the customer said Shimano spec is fine,
so I'll rebuild it with either a Tnni 660 hub or a Revo II hub.
When I first received this wheel, the 660 hub was out of stock,
but inventory came back in, so I'm rebuilding with the 660 hub.
There were marks showing that the tire had been glued on just once with rim cement,
without building a solid bed.
As for the nipples, there were a few that had rim cement dripped into the rim holes,
but apart from that, it looks like grease was applied to the sliding surfaces during wheel building,
and dust and carbon powder had stuck to it.
↑Soaking in parts cleaner...
Cleaning the outside is one thing, but degreasing the threads is tedious.
Done.
Separating the nipples into groups of four makes it
easy to keep track of the count at a glance.
Wheel built.
660 hub, 24-spoke, semi-CX sprint 46-lacing pattern.
I'll do the nipple tying later.
The rim sticker was replaced later, but looking at the sun fading of the original sticker,
I thought it seemed off.
And the other side is misaligned by the same amount,
so it turns out the ENVE logo size was different on the original,
and the centers of the original and new stickers were
lined up cleanly.
