I received a Racing ZERO Night wheel from a customer.
It's brand new. There's a warning sticker on the rim's brake zone
that you're supposed to peel off before use,
but it hasn't even been removed yet.
Both front and rear hubs have no play, the freewheel body's locking nut won't loosen by hand,
and there's barely any runout.
Only the center was off by about the thickness of a sheet of paper on both wheels,
so I showed the customer the condition before and after work before making the correction.
↑Brake zone that requires special brake shoes
The included Shimano freewheel body is a white aluminum freewheel body
treated with plasma electrolysis, and it's now being sold individually as well.
The conventional steel freewheel body hasn't been discontinued,
but since the aluminum version is only about ¥450 more expensive than the steel version,
Campagnolo dealers have made the judgment that
"at this price difference, hardly anyone would buy the steel version,"
resulting in the transition from discontinuing the steel version to switching to aluminum.
Since it hasn't been discontinued, you can still order
the old steel freewheel body through Campagnolo Japan.
We have several aluminum freewheel body units in stock here at the shop,
and we plan to keep them in stock regularly for the time being.
