Built the Nomu Lab Wheel #1 (←Not a typo)

The Nomu Lab wheels have a few people using them to death doing R&D (※), though they're not exactly what you'd call support riders.
(※That's supposed to be Research & Development, not Rhythm & Blues)

Today it's wheels again (and so on).

I ended up building just the rear wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel #1.
Other than the rim being either Kinlin's XR-300 or Tni's AL300,
everything else is up to my discretion. Hehehehe.

I wanted to use Sapim CX spokes on the freehub side,
but unfortunately the current Tni Evo hub has transitioned to a flange design without slots for aerospokes,
so CX spokes won't work.
So I decided to use Aerostar Bright III type spokes (discontinued) instead.

They're thicker than CX-RAY and have a cross-section closer to square.
This lets me bias the spoke weight ratio toward the freehub side over the non-freehub side.

Built. 28H, true tangent lacing—what we call "yonpachi" (4-cross). Hehehehe.
I deliberately left the sticker on, but that's the customer's request.

The red nipples are not the customer's request.

Be awed by how evenly the spoke deflection is distributed left and right. Kukukuku...

For compensation, Kit Kat or Alfort with a shower of love, please.
