A customer dropped off a Bora One for me to work on.

This is a Bora One, not a Bora One 50.
The rim height is 50mm, from back when tubular was the only option available.
With internal nipples, I can't do any maintenance without peeling off the tire,
but the customer really lucked out here.


I didn't really feel it was necessary,
but I did an overhaul since the customer requested it.



The wheel had some centering issues that I



corrected.


When I tried to peel off the tire before starting work,
my hand slipped and the tire came right off, but


there was a tubular tape release film that hadn't been peeled off.
The customer didn't do this themselves—
it was applied at Shinoyama's bicycle workshop Highlander,
but that guy only knows how to cause me trouble. What a useless fellow.

"There was a tubular tape release film that hadn't been peeled off."
Wait, couldn't the tire peel off on a downhill curve if that's the case?
I received a comment asking this.

That's actually a very real possibility, which is why I said at the beginning that the customer really "lucked out."
