Racing Zero

A customer dropped off the rear wheel from a Racing Zero (a bike model) for me.

A branch got wrapped around the rear wheel and bent one spoke.

The frame that had this Racing Zero rear wheel was shaped with the chainstays pulled inward, so the tire was rubbing against the chainstay and the bike couldn't be ridden. They swapped rear wheels with someone riding nearby, and on that other frame the tire just barely cleared without rubbing, so both of them were able to ride home under their own power.

About that rear wheel they borrowed, the customer thought "What is this thing? It runs so smoothly!" Turns out that rear wheel was our Nomu Lab Wheel No. 1. Ha, well there you have it.
