Another wheel day (and so on).

A customer left an Alpinist CLX rear wheel with me.


Never mind that my white balance is all over the place every time I shoot,
both sides are laced with the final cross pattern.
You might think I'm stating the obvious,
but these images are for the next post.

I rebuilt it.

I went with a CX Sprint hub on the non-drive side.
I'll finish the spoke nipples later.
I think this is something only our shop can do right now.
That's because the spoke length needed here is
less than 280mm but at least 270mm,
and that's a size that's currently unavailable (→here).
