Built a Nomu Lab Wheel No. 5 with a Power Tap Hub

More wheels today (and so on).

A customer entrusted me with a Power Tap hub.
They'd originally ordered a Nomu Lab Wheel No. 2
but changed it to a Power Tap.

The box is different now.

↑The logo's changed too.

The left cover now has a mesh pattern on it.
The tool to remove it is the same, so no issues for me.

My basic policy is "don't disassemble new hubs,"
but I wanted to check the condition of the tape, so I took it apart.
Yep, decision made.

Got it built.
It was supposed to be a spec change from No. 2 to No. 1, but then changed to No. 5.

Just the other day Kinrin rims came in with 200 pieces,
and the No. 5 28H rim was a new arrival, so that's what I built with.

I went with this one.

True tangent lacing—that's 48-hole lacing with 28 holes.
The spokes are semi-competition grade.
