Today, another wheel (and so on).
Continuing from the other day.
I built the rear wheel with
a Campagnolo Sigma silver rim.
A C-Record or Gipiemme hub — I can't say for certain about the history — 28H
Semi-competitive 32-spoke lacing.
I'll do the spoke nipple threading later.
The customer left me two pairs of front and rear hubs,
four total, and only this rear hub
has some roughness in its rotation.
With the other three hubs,
I've done the greasing and bearing adjustment
as much as seemed necessary,
but with this rear hub, I decided that
a complete teardown and re-greasing was needed.
It's easier to clean the hub by itself,
but bearing adjustment can't be fully done
until spoke tension is applied,
so I went ahead and built the wheel first on purpose.
