Wheels again today (and so on).
I received two pairs of front and rear wheels from a customer—black spokes with red nipples on Nomu Lab Wheel No. 5.
They've damaged the wheels for different reasons each time.
The first incident was a motorcycle hitting them from the side,
and the second was a crash when the wheel got stuck
right in a pothole on a downhill section.
The customer mentioned that there's definitely a wheel
that needs rim replacement, so I checked it out.
↑This appears to be the front wheel from the pothole incident.
The other front wheel had some serious wobbling,
so both front wheels were in a state requiring rim replacement.
One rear wheel had that warped condition too, from the motorcycle collision incident.
The other rear wheel could be fixed with truing,
so for today I decided to replace the rim on one front wheel
to put together one usable front-and-rear wheel pair.
Transferring the rim now...
All done building it.
Evolite hub, 20H, black CX-RAY,
radial spoke lacing with reverse nipple seats.
Since this was built 4 to 5 years ago,
I replaced all of the red aluminum nipples with new ones.
