Built Nomu Lab Wheel #5.
Built two pairs. Both front wheels are CX-RAY outpoke radial lacing,
and the rear wheels are half-comp 1.6x lacing.
On the rear wheels, one has spoke nipple wrench flats and one doesn't,
but I'm guessing they'll ask me to add them to the one without anyway.
I was nervous about building #5 because spoke inventory was so tight,
but that turned out not to be a problem.
The issue is the CX-RAY (silver version) in the specific length needed
for radial front wheels on Nomu Lab Wheel #5—the distributors don't stock it.
They work in 2mm increments, and that length plus 2mm, 4mm, and 6mm variations are all out of stock too.
If they were any longer, I'd exceed the adjustment range I can handle with spoke cutters.
The moment some shop saw that the distributors were running low on CX-RAY
in that length range, they apparently went and said "give me everything you have in that size range"
and bought it all out. Ruthless, right? How do I know this? Well... you know.
