Nomu Lab Diary

Built a front wheel with a custom-engraved 60mm rim

Another wheel day (and so on).

I received a 60mm-high Chinese carbon rim from a customer
with their team name laser-etched into it.

I asked if it was okay to post it here even with the team name on it,
and they said no problem.
Even if they'd said no,
it's a size consideration that can't really be obscured anyway.

Both are 60mm-high rims, and due to the brake-zone machining,
they're left/right-specific tubeless-ready rims with no holes.
One is 20H and one is 24H, and because they have brake zones,
these are rim-brake rims for front and rear wheels.
The customer ordered the front-wheel 20H
to have a wider rim width.
Today I'm building the front wheel.
