Another wheel day (and so on).
A customer left me with a rim from a brand called Deerobust—
a tubeless-ready offset carbon rim with no holes on the outer perimeter.
In the box the rim came in:
There was fan art of our shop drawn by the customer's 9-year-old daughter.
The Fulcrum dog even has three hind legs properly depicted—
a nice attention to detail.
There was a memo with the actual measured weight on the bag containing the rim,
and when I weighed it myself, it matched exactly.
Today I'll build the front wheel with the heavier one.
All built.
I forgot to mention it, but the rim height is 35mm (stated spec),
and the internal rim width is 21.4mm (measured).
Revo disc hub, 24H, all CX-RAY spokes,
laced in reverse Italian 64-cross pattern.
I'll do the nipples later.
With offset rims, I sometimes use different left and right spoke lengths
and sometimes don't. This time I didn't.
