Can't Build the Rear Wheel

DT spokes shipped from the wholesaler on Friday,
but still haven't arrived.
This is a logistics company problem, not the wholesaler's fault.
(※Not Sagawa or Yamato!)

Since the wholesaler is closed weekends, they shipped Friday,
but it still didn't arrive today (Monday),
which means it would've actually been faster if I'd gone to pick it up myself.
Whatever, I'll just go grab it from the wholesaler tomorrow morning.

I need to have a word with the logistics company about the repeated late deliveries with no notice of absence.

Anyway, today it's wheels(and so on)again. Just front wheels.

Built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel #2.

The Tni Evo rear 24H hub is out of stock,
but the front 20H ones are still available, so I can build front wheels.
This customer's rear is #3 20H, so with matching Tni front and rear I went ahead and built it.

The replacement hub is supposed to arrive on the 21st night.

It's 32H because it pairs with a 32H rear wheel.
That rear wheel is a PowerTap, by the way,
and they asked me to re-spoke it.
Sorry, I didn't quite catch that.

Built the front wheel for ENVE 1-45TU.

Inpoke radial lacing.
Since spoke selection for the rear is left entirely to me,
I could go with full CX-RAY instead of the semi-competition build,
but I didn't have time to build it today anyway, so I'll think about it a bit more.

Built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel #1.

Once spokes come in soon, I'll build Nomu Lab Wheel #1 with an Ultegra complete rear hub,
but I got the front wheel—which will be its partner—built first.
