Another wheel day today (and so on...).
I built the Nomu Lab Wheel No. 2.
The rear wheel is a 24H semi-comp 4-cross spoke pattern.
The sticker on this Tni rim has extremely stubborn adhesive residue.
I think most people without any special preparation would have difficulty removing it cleanly.
It won't come off with just a wipe of parts cleaner.
I've tried various adhesive removers and use the ones that work best,
but even so it takes quite a bit of time.
Cleaning the stickers off two rims takes about the same amount of time
as building one front wheel.
I think I wrote about this before, but occasionally I come across a rim where the sticker peels off cleanly and easily—
and it's clearly not an individual variation but rather the sticker itself has actually changed.
At that point I thought "maybe they'll switch over to this," but
the rims I've received since then have had the strong adhesive version again.
However, today's 24H rims were "the ones that peel off cleanly."
I really hope they switch to this version.
I finished the front wheel too.
This rim was the one with stubborn adhesive residue.
Since the customer requested 18H,
I built it with the Tni carbon front hub, which is the exclusive privilege of 18H.
