I Built Nomu Lab Wheel #5

I built Nomu Lab Wheel #5.

I built two pairs. Both front wheels are CX-RAY radial lacing in reverse,
and the rear wheels are semi-competition 26-hole lacing.
The rear wheels have one with spoke tying and one without,
but I'm pretty sure they'll ask me to add spoke ties to the one without too.


I was hesitant about building wheel #5 because spoke inventory was tight,
but that's no longer a problem.
The CX-RAY (silver version) in the specific length needed for radial lacing on Nomu Lab Wheel #5's front wheel
is currently out of stock at the distributor.
They stock in 2mm increments, but that length plus 2mm, 4mm, and 6mm are all gone too.
If the length is any longer than that, it exceeds what I can work with using a spoke cutter.

When a certain shop saw how sparse the distributor's inventory was for CX-RAY in that length range,
they apparently said "I'll take every length around there you have" and bought them all out.
Pretty aggressive, right? How do I know? Well, you know how it is...
