A customer brought in

a front wheel built with the same rim as Nomu Lab Wheel #2 and


a Campagnolo 18H hub.
They wanted an inspection.
The hub rotation has some binding, so
I decided it was best not to touch it.



The rim sticker residue left after peeling off the stickers
was pretty bad, so
they asked me to clean it up.

This customer isn't the original owner of the wheel.
This particular combination of hub and rim
might be the only one in the world,
so if the previous owner is looking at this,
they'd have no trouble identifying it.



A radially-spoked front wheel with
centering this far off
looks extremely amateur, or
if it was professional work (done for money),
the build quality is just embarrassing.

Hey there, previous owner—I see you!
By my standards, this wheel
never actually became a "wheel"—
it's been in a half-built state,
and now for the first time it's becoming an actual wheel~



I got the wheel center corrected.
What was even more tedious
was the severe radial runout.


I also cleaned up the adhesive residue on the rim sidewalls.
