I received a Bora One 35 from a customer.
The Bora One from the previous post was a 2014 model,
and this one is from 2015. The differences are
that the bearings, which were the same diameter front and rear, now have a smaller front bearing starting in 2015,
the ball bearings are now USB specification,
and since this is for Shimano freewheel bodies, it has a white aluminum freewheel body.
Both front and rear were perfectly centered, with very minimal runout
and it was assembled well.
I won't write that maybe it was carefully set up at the shop
because I ended up learning they bought it through a different route.
Bora's nipples are no longer internal,
and like other pre-built wheels that use aluminum nipples,
they're not the standard flat-to-flat width of 3.2mm or 3.4mm
but rather have a wider gripping surface.
（By the way, Shimano's 9000 series wheels—CL or TL models—are 3.75mm）
For this Bora, you use a nipple wrench called the UT-WH090, but
the Park Tool #12 nipple wrench shown in the image
the SW-3 (nominal flat-to-flat of 3.9mm) has about the same play as the genuine tool,
so unless the nipple is swollen from aluminum corrosion
or dust is caught between it and the rim,
causing increased resistance in the initial rotation of the nipple,
you'll pretty much never strip it.
（In the first place, the larger size already makes stripping unlikely.
Also, whether this nipple's contact surface with the rim is well-designed
or the internal rim shape is just good, it turns smoothly even at quite high tension）
I'm definitely not recommending the use of this tool,
but its ease of use compared to the genuine tool is crystal clear.
Writing things like this is something of a chicken game in terms of where the line is
before I get an angry phone call, so...ｓ
Hmm, is someone here? Who could it be at this hour?
