From the customer with the ZITTO hub 29-inch MTB wheel from yesterday
I received a cyclocross rear wheel built with a Tni CX22 tubular rim.
There's a Clement cyclocross tire on it,
but since they won't be using it anymore, they said I can peel it off and discard it.
The original basis for Tni's Evo disc hub (not Levo disc hub)
is a Novatec D712 hub that's been converted
from quick-release to 142mm thru-axle.
28 holes, all competition 1.5-cross lacing with no spoke tie-ins,
but this wasn't built by me.
The builder is someone I know.
It's a bit loose, so they want me to tension it more
before doing the spoke ties, but there are two spots with significant lateral runout,
and in those phases the rim holes showed spoke threads
with as much looseness as you could see. No thread-locking compound
has been applied to the spoke threads.
The tire's tread wasn't catastrophically worn,
but there were several spots where the base fabric was starting to peel,
so continued use was impossible.
After re-tensioning and inspection, I did the spoke ties.
The image above shows the state after water-rinsing the flux.
I applied a drip-type thread-locking compound only to the low-tension,
non-drive-side rim holes.
The liquid is dark blue in color, and it's soaked into the nipple slot.
The spots where the rim cement bed and the tubular tire's base fabric
have become one unit and are sealing the rim holes—
I gave up on those since it's too much of a hassle.
