Built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 8 (my personal bike)

Another day of wheel building (and so on).

I built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 8.
To be honest, it's for my personal bike.

The hub is a removed WH-R8170 hub—you know, the kind you'd find in any household refrigerator—24 hole.

Half-CX sprint straight forced left-right 2-cross lacing.
On the original specification wheels built with this hub,
the final crossing on both sides isn't woven in,
but on this wheel I wove it in.
I'll do the spoke nipple threads later.

Green aluminum nipples.
This rim has strangely thin anodizing and the color is flaking off,
but rather than return it to the distributor,
I was thinking of keeping it for a Nomu Lab Wheel No. 8 warranty replacement,
but ended up using it for my personal wheel instead.
