Nomu Lab Diary

Built a wheel with R45 hub and AL22W rim (rear wheel, part 1)

Another day of wheel building (and so on).

I built a rear wheel with a Chris King hub and a Tni AL22W rim.

I built a wheel with exactly the same specs a while back,
but this is a separate project.
The hub and nipple colors are different.

Navy anodized R45 hub, 24H
Half-comp 4-cross lacing with silver aluminum nipples.
I'll do the valve stem hole later.

Not that it matters, but the left flange has traces of
tangent lacing and outpoke radial lacing,
so this hub clearly has a history of being built into wheels
at least twice before.
