Haven't Built the Front Wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 9 Yet

I weighed all the materials.

Against an estimated weight of 540g,
the actual measured weight of this unit came to 536g.
In terms of differences from the estimate,
the CX-RAY 12-spoke bundle was 1g lighter,
and the front hub was
3g lighter than its stated weight.

The rim I'm using isn't the one I initially procured for my personal bike—
which had a stated weight of 273g against an actual measured weight of 272g—
but rather another unit I later obtained that measured 273g.
So how much the wheel's estimated weight will differ from the actual measured weight
basically comes down to how much the rim's measured weight
deviates from its stated value.

When I procured my first 32mm-height rim,
I was planning to build only the rear wheel,
but that would make the inner width (19mm)
too different from my current Nomu Lab Wheel No. 8 front wheel,
so I decided to go with Nomu Lab Wheel No. 9
for both front and rear wheels.
I considered varying the rim height between front and rear,
but I'll build my personal bike with 32mm-height rims on both.
I've stubbornly used 25C tires up until now,
but with these wheels I'll have no choice
but to switch to 28C or 30C tires.
