A customer left me a Racing Zero rear wheel.

This is the stylish thief version I did before.
That's not really relevant though,


↑The spokes are bent.


↑And even more so, the quick release is massively bent.
This wasn't from a crash with the wheel attached to the frame.
While riding a motorcycle and hand-carrying the wheel,
the quick release got caught in the front wheel and ended up like this.
It's not Uri Geller's doing, just to be clear.


Of all things, bending the fancy spoke...
By the way, clockwise from that, the adjacent black spoke
has a small scratch in the anodizing.


↑This one.


I think the scratch is related to this accident,
but when I relieved the spoke tension it wasn't bent at all,
so I'll reuse it.


I replaced the red spoke.


The small scratch on the adjacent spoke is gone because

I flipped it over.


Straightening the quick release and reusing it is impossible.


Campagnolo Fulcrum is
notorious for being difficult to attach to simple bike stands—
they put out unnecessarily many variations of
the type of quick release where the cam levers extend from both sides
and connect together into a single lever shape.


I had something with similar texture on hand,
so I gave it to the customer.
