I know it might seem like I'm only building front wheels,
but my partner's rear wheel is already built, so I'm keeping pace with the front and rear.
I've built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 1.
Both have leaf hubs and reverse radial spoking, but
this one has DT Competition spokes,
（Oh no, the focus landed on the rear flange...）
and this one has CX-RAY spokes.
Edit: Responding to a comment.
Someone asked: "First to comment—I've noticed your photos often have that blurry quality. Are you using a bright lens? Or is it just chance?"
Let me answer that.
First, about being first to comment—the first-comment race is unofficial at our shop (laughs).
So there are no official rankings or prizes.
But the winner (not that there's any actual winning or losing) is seduced by the view from the summit of that undiscovered peak that only they know about, and so this fruitless race continues today and tomorrow.
As for having those blurry photos—I'm pretty ignorant about photography, so that happens fairly often.
I do try to shoot the same subject multiple times and pick out the best or at least the least bad one,
but there are plenty of photos I've only shot once that end up blurry.
Also, I'd been noticing for several days that the photos all seemed to have this thin veil of haze over them, but it turned out the lens was just dirty and fogged up.
So the answer is "just chance."
