Another wheel day (and so on).
Continuing from yesterday.
I rebuilt the rear wheel that came with the Cannondale complete bike
using a Glowtack (carbon rim manufacturer) carbon rim.
The hub is a Shimano FH-TC500-HL 28H.
The Shimano TC500 rear hub comes in 5 different model number variations at the end.
I was going to write about these differences and
three things that caught my attention about them,
but it got long, so I split it into a separate article.
About the reason for the shorter spoke length that I mentioned
in the front wheel article.
When the automatic wheel building machine's bit is
simply shaped like a flat-head screwdriver tip,
it can only automatically progress
until the spoke end reaches the bottom of the nipple slot.
On the front wheel, there were almost no marks from the bit rotation,
but on the rear wheel they were quite pronounced.
I rebuilt it with a Glowtack 40mm deep carbon rim.
FH-TC500-HL 28H
Half CX sprint 46 JIS lacing with cross connections,
green aluminum nipples.
