A customer left a Bullet (フリーボディ) with me for work.


The freebody has been updated to the latest Shimano 11-speed spec
and doesn't quite match the original era, but that's because we did that replacement here at the shop too.
There was play in the rear hub, and both wheels were off-center.
(The rear wheel was more severely misaligned)
The front wheel had worse runout,
but a G3-laced rear wheel with less lateral runout than the front is rare,
so it's really unfortunate that it had that center misalignment.
Without that, we probably could have gotten away with minimal tool work.
The hub bearing adjustment was "CULT in its broken-in state."
It really does roll beautifully.
