I received a Zonda (Campagnolo wheel) from a customer on deposit.


Aside from the customer installing the sprocket, it's basically brand new.
I don't know its history, but it does look like it's been inspected.
I only needed to do a bit of truing on the rear wheel.


Campagnolo and Fulcrum aluminum rims have a small hole a little distance away from the valve hole.
Since it's such a tiny hole, you wouldn't normally need to cover it with rim tape,
but with tubeless rims, that's not the case.
When I looked, they'd gone ahead and filled it in.
I can't help but think that if they were going to fill it, why make it in the first place...
but it's probably something related to the rim manufacturing process.


As I've written before, the Zonda uses asymmetrical spoke lengths in a 2:1 spoke pattern—
a configuration you wouldn't need to separate for the left and right sides
(the correction quality is sufficient even without doing so).
It's built with left-right different-diameter spoke specifications.
Theoretically, it's the pinnacle.

I wonder how many users the person who came up with this specification thought
would be impressed by this detail,
but I get it, yes I do.
