Another day of wheels (and so on).
Built the rear wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel #5.
660 hub, 24H, semi-comp 4-cross lacing with tied and soldered spokes
Red and black alternating aluminum nipples.
I intentionally haven't removed the rim sticker yet
because it relates to the content of this post.
↑The one in front of the image
is a Nomu Lab Wheel #5 with a silver rim that I built a while back.
Whether the rim is black or silver, the rim sticker
has been monochrome for a long time now,
but the reason this rim's sticker is
the old red and white version is
because the wholesaler's AL22 rim stock ran out,
and the AL22 rim inventory we'd stockpiled・・・stored here before that also ran out,
so this rim came from
"the final box that should only be opened
when we really have no stock left."
Unless the wholesaler's inventory gets restocked,
I can only build a few more pairs.
