A customer dropped off the front wheel of a のむラボホイール 2.5号 (Nomu Lab Wheel 2.5) with me.
It's built with a ZIPP 18H front hub.
It looks like it got caught in something—the spokes are badly bent.
Just replacing the spokes wouldn't normally be a big deal, but
this hub cap is designed so that the flange opens under spoke tension
to hold the cap in place, so
you have to loosen all the spokes on one side considerably to get the cap off.
Honestly, it's a pain.
Got it fixed.
The spoke next to the one that was bent sharply at the base was also damaged, so I replaced that one too.
