Another wheel day (and so on).
A customer brought in a front wheel built with a Mavic Reflex tubular rim.
One spoke is missing, but it looks like it broke at the hub elbow, and since it would rattle around annoyingly as the wheel spun, they cut it short. This part doesn't just snap off on its own.
I could've fixed just the repair right there in about 10 minutes, but since the customer wanted a complete wheel rebuild, I took it in on consignment.
HB-7900 hub, 32H, laced four-crosses Italian style.
The spokes are unmarked stainless steel with no heads—a magnet won't stick to them at all.
Rebuilt it.
All Campagnolo outpoke radial lacing. The radial lacing was the customer's preference.
The rim had a slight buckle-type deformation in one spot, but I was able to correct it.
