Another day of wheel building (and so on).
I built a rear wheel using a Grottack 40mm high tubeless-ready rim.
Revo disc hub, 24H, black semi-competition, 4-6 JIS lacing pattern
with black aluminum nipples.
I'll do the spoke threading later.
The customer was originally using Fulcrum WIND 55 DB wheels,
but when they borrowed a pair of front and rear Grottack 50mm high rim wheels that I built from a friend,
they set a personal best time on the Jūsan Pass
and more importantly, realized that the WIND 55s felt sluggish and slow.
Having refined taste isn't a sin,
but perhaps creating that refined taste is a bit of a sin.
My apologies.
After hearing that story, I suggested they just keep borrowing the wheels permanently,
but instead we decided to build a front and rear pair using the 40mm rims.
