Nomu Lab Diary

Wheel Building Is Picking Up

On this blog I sometimes feature parts or whole bikes belonging to customers, but when I do so I always get their permission beforehand.

Built a wheel for a street commuter bike!
It's a 26-inch MTB-standard rim. I had a tough time with it.
Not with the wheel itself, but with the bike I was installing it on.

The latest Deore hub has great feel for the price, you know?

Added another front wheel to the Nomu Lab Wheel No. 1.
You might wonder why I suddenly started calling it "No. 1"—it's because No. 2 is coming soon!

No. 2 will have to wait a bit longer.
I went back and updated the titles in my old posts to reference "No. 1,"
and added a new blog category called "Nomu Lab Wheel."

Here's the front wheel from that Helium wheel I mentioned the other day.
Built it with inpoke radial lacing.

Actually, it's not really a hub shape designed for inpoke, but there's no problem building it that way,
so that's what I did.
Or rather, the customer said
"Build it with inpoke"
They must've been reading some odd blog or other!
