A customer brought in a Racing 1 Competition for repair.
The Racing Zero "Competizione" came out a while back,
and this is the Racing 1 "Competition."
The other day, in my article about replacing the silver and black rear rim of the original Racing 1,
some parts of the title and text incorrectly said Racing "Zero" when it should have been Racing "1."
Thanks for pointing that out — I've made the correction.
Currently the Racing 1 has been discontinued,
and unlike Campagnolo where model names are pet names,
the numbering jumps from Zero straight to 3, which feels odd.
The Eurus, which is equivalent to the Racing 1, is still in production as the 2018 model,
but as I've mentioned several times before, the Eurus
differs from the Shamal Ultra not just in hub shell material and bearing specs
but still uses (presumably on purpose) the C15 rim,
so there is reason to buy it for that feature.
One spoke is missing.
The customer attempted to true the wheel and snapped it — crack.
Of the 15 remaining spokes on the wheel, about 2 of them are at risk of seizing,
so if I'm not careful, I could make the same mistake.
The spoke head stamp is "4 vertical lines,"
and I have spares in stock.
All fixed.
