A customer brought in an R-SYS rear wheel for repair.

One spoke on the freewheel side was bent, apparently.


↑That's the one.


Fixed.


↑The replaced spoke

All wavy.

The spoke and nipple were seized together, so
since we were replacing it anyway, I gave it a good snap.


I want to write about Mavic's seizing issue sometime too (I've got the photos), but
it's more of a headache to deal with than Campagnolo Fulcrum seizures.

When other nipples won't turn,
you end up having to give up on fine-tuning the trueness,
but in this case only that one nipple was seized.

There was a slight center offset that I fixed too, but
when you have a seized nipple, sometimes you can't center the wheel at all.
