A customer dropped off a Racing Zero rear wheel with us.

The rear derailleur got caught and bent a spoke on the freewheel side.


↑There it is.

There's impact damage too.


Fixed it.
A single spoke took all the impact, so I only needed to replace one spoke.
Just adjusting the nipple on the replacement spoke basically finished the truing—
The wheel had significant lateral runout before repair, so I wasn't checking the temporary center,
but when I finished spoke replacement and truing, it was dead center,
so the wheel must have been dead center with almost no runout
right before the derailleur got caught.


↑The spoke I replaced
It's severely bent because one spoke absorbed all the force.
