Another day with wheels (and so on).
Built the disc brake rear wheel with a Reynolds Attack rim,
the matching pair to yesterday's front wheel.
Novatech D792-CL hub, 24H
Hoshi Aero SB II/III different diameters left and right, 46 JIS laced
Iridescent (VAS) nipple pattern.
I'll finish the lacing later.
About the Reynolds Attack DB rim—
both front and rear wheels are 24H, and since it's not an offset rim,
there's no directional specification for left and right based on hole drilling angle differences.
It's the same spec, same hole count rim.
When I received it, it was just a bare rim stripped from a complete wheel,
but there was masking tape with notes on it
so I could tell whether it was originally a front or rear rim.
The customer requested that I use the lighter rim for the rear wheel
(I was planning to do that anyway),
but it turned out I ended up using the original front rim for the rear
and the original rear rim for the front.
What surprised me was that the weight difference wasn't within measurement error—
there was actually a pretty significant individual variation.
I'm not going to share the specific weight though.
↑man, that's a bad look
Sorry for the wait! Please take a look at these photos!
Original front rim!
Original rear rim!
↑Seriously, stop it!
