A customer brought in a Racing Zero Competition (high-end racing wheelset) for repair.
As you can see, the spokes are bent,
and the ones held together with duct tape are actually broken spokes.
I don't know all the details, but apparently they started riding with the kickstand still down.
The same kind of damage happens if you ride off with the lock still engaged.
Unlike the situation in my previous post
where spokes on only one side bent one after another,
this time spokes bent continuously regardless of left or right side.
All fixed.
I wasn't pushing it strongly, but when I mentioned that the spoke head markings were identical with "four vertical lines" so we could mix in silver or red spokes,
they decided to go for a stylish look.
Since they wanted the red spoke positioned "next to the valve hole on the left side of the wheel,"
I had to remove some undamaged spokes as well—those are the magnets on the spokes shown in the image.
↑Replaced spokes
In total, I removed 5 spokes during the job for the reasons mentioned above.
