Another day with wheels (etc.).
I received two ZIPP 404 tubular rims
from a customer.
I'll be building both front and rear wheels with these,
but since there's weight stickers on the rims, the actual measured weight is
only "definitely lighter than 852g for both combined"—just a rough reference weight.
Today I built the front wheel.
Extralite Cyberfront front hub, 18H
CX-RAY straight spokes, forced radial lacing.
As I've mentioned before,
"Cyberfront" is where the hub name ends.
When you follow the marking on the hub shell that says "this side is the bike's left,"
the text on the hub shell ends up upside down—that's just how it is.
