WH-9000-C35-CL Customer Wheel

A customer dropped off a C35 rear wheel with me.

There was a spot that had gotten pretty bent from a crash,
but since there was no bending to the rim itself, it cleaned up nicely.

Shimano wheels have soft rims, but
with only 16 spokes up front and 20 in the rear,
they're tensioned really high, so the rim undulates side to side.
The C24 front wheel shows this especially.

With the C35, there's more distance between the brake zone and the nipples compared to the C24,
and the deformation from spoke tension doesn't propagate as easily,
so I can dial it in quite a bit cleaner than the C24.
