Another wheel day (and so on).
Continuing from yesterday.
Duke's Lucky Jack Ultra SLS4 rim and
Bird's spokes and
ExtraLight's HyperBoost 3 hub
I built the front wheel.
28H, both sides forced 2-cross lacing.
Actual measured weight of the front wheel.
Since the rear wheel was 494g,
the front and rear wheels combined come to 913g.
I often say things like "the combined weight of front and rear wheels doesn't really mean much,"
but when they're this light, I just can't help measuring them.
According to the manufacturer's website, the rim's stated weight is 255g,
and according to the sticker on the actual rim's outer edge,
it's 255 plus or minus 15g.
A tolerance of up to 30g on a 255g rim seems excessive to me,
but as long as it's 270g or less, technically
it's not a lie.
↑Actual measured weights of the rims on this set of front and rear wheels.
By openly publishing this information,
I'm able to prevent the appearance of
wheel spec disclosure national rights advocates and extreme crustaceans.
I've been the beneficiary of your kindness this year too!
Anyway, please take a look at these images!
These are images of the Duke rim!
These are images of the Nommodlabo Wheel No. 9 rim!
↑Stop it!
