Another wheel day (and so on...).
Continuing from the other day.
I'm rebuilding the rear wheel for a Zentis Squad 4.2 Race.
The original hub was a DT 350 straight, but
I have an ONYX Racing hub on hand for the rear wheel
and the customer wants the wheel rebuilt with the new hub.
Built it up.
Vesper hub, 24H, black semi-comp, 1.5-cross lacing
with black aluminum nipples.
Cable routing will be done later.
The rear rim was an offset rim, but
when the same rim spec comes in both offset and non-offset versions,
the offset rim tends to be heavier.
For this front and rear wheel build,
the customer had added weight only to the rear rim,
but with that setup the front and rear rims weighed about the same.
Since I don't have enough actual measured weight samples, it's unclear,
but I suspect it's either the "heavier front rim pulled out a loose tolerance"
or the "lighter rear rim pulled out a loose tolerance"
or possibly both contributing.
What? You want me to tell you the actual weights?
No way I'm doing that
↑man, that's pretty harsh
Sorry for the wait! Please check out this image!
Front rim!
Rear rim with weight!
↑Come ooooon!
