Another day, another wheel (and so on).
A customer brought in the front wheel from their Nomu Lab Wheel No. 2.
They hit a rock and broke the rim.
It doesn't look like much from the side, but
↑the brake zone is peeling apart.
We have replacement rims in stock, but the customer brought one in
so we'll use that instead.
While transferring the rim and loosening nipples,
I noticed two bent ones in a row (on the same side).
Since they also crashed when they hit the rock, that's probably the cause.
In terms of position, it's right opposite the rim's buckle.
One has a forward-and-backward catch-like deformation,
and the other has a scrape mark and left-to-right deformation.
Got it built up.
I did the work while the customer watched, and
about one-third—or at least one-quarter—of the total wheel-building time
was spent on "adhesive residue removal from the peeled-off sticker."
All swapped out.
All swapped out.
