Shamal Ultra 2 WAY-FIT

I received a front wheel from a Shamal Ultra from a customer.

Two spokes are bent.

↑One of them.
They were riding a cyclocross bike, and the cleat didn't engage properly,
so their foot slid forward and hit the front wheel.
You really do see all kinds of incidents.
Starting off with a cable lock still on, getting shopping bags caught in the wheel,
driving through a drive-through with the bike on top of the car and hitting the height restriction,
getting hit by a metal stag beetle (bike stand), and so on — I write down individual cases like this here
because I don't want readers to make the same mistakes.

Fixed.
The reason there are marker tape marks at three locations is:

When I removed the two bent spokes,
the new spoke's head wasn't catching on the flange properly, so

to center the hub,
I selected one spoke on the opposite side and released its tension.
As I always mention, by adjusting just these three spokes, theoretically
I should be able to restore the wheel to the state it was in just before the foot impact,
so marking them makes the work much easier.
