A customer brought in a Zonda bike for us to work on.

A spoke broke right off, and they came straight to our shop.


Apparently it happened suddenly somewhere beyond Kiyotaki Pass on the Nara side.
I'm not sure if we're the closest shop that can drop everything and swap spokes on the spot,
but that's what happened.


Got it fixed.



↑There's a bend like it got caught on something,
but I think it's from the broken spoke getting dragged into the rim
as the wheel continued to rotate.
I checked this spoke and all the others around it,
but found no other deformations.


It's so common that I don't always bother writing about it,
but this time too, the right axle nut came loose by hand.
