I received a Bora One from a customer.
The wheel has developed lateral runout from a crash.
The spoke directly below the runout is bent—that's the culprit.
To replace this spoke, the hub shell is a "through-axle" design, and the hub shaft sits in the path where the spoke needs to come out, so I have to remove the hub shaft first.
When I loosened it with a 5mm Allen key from both sides, the right end came off first.
The new shaft is on standby for potential trouble.
I removed it without scratching the flat-sided recess.
Since the right end and hub shaft have high-strength threadlocker applied, the right end shouldn't come off first again.
On a separate job today, I'm removing the front hub from a Bora One 35, and that one had damage marks from a 14mm hub wrench.
All fixed.
