Our shop's phone is broken right now.
To be precise, it's not the phone itself but the line that's the problem.
There's this incredible snow noise (sounds like analog TV static) during calls,
so conversations are pretty much impossible.
That's why I've been avoiding taking calls since yesterday.
Let me write down a few work updates:
LOOK's 795 and TIME's RXR Altuim are already finished.
Dogma stems have also come in.
Chorus brakes are fixed.
From a customer who owns a Novatec Lab (Nomu Labo) wheel with green aluminum nipples—
almost always saying something like "hehe... green nipples, nice" whenever we build a wheel with them—
the customer we call "Green Nipple Guy"—
We received his Chorus brakes for repair.
As you can see, the return spring is broken,
but the 5-BR-RE-008 that we stock doesn't fit.
Even with modification, it won't work.
This is a Chorus with the C-arm pivot area like this, so...
Found it.
The 2017 spare parts catalog.
Huh?
The spring doesn't have a part number. Yikes.
Same story with the 2018 catalog. Yikes.
It's listed in the 2019 catalog.
While it's hard to imagine this breaking within a year or two of use,
the fact that there was a period with no spare parts supply is kind of odd,
but since we can get them now, I guess it's fine.
Together with the SRAM XDR freebody that I bought because someone from the parts supplier—
the most knowledgeable Campagnolo distributor in Japan—told me to just go ahead and buy it—
It arrived.
The 5-BR-RE-008 has a quantity number at the beginning indicating the sales unit, so it comes 5 per box,
but this BR-CH006 comes 2 per box.
Recent Campagnolo tends not to include a quantity number at the beginning,
so this spring doesn't follow the 2-BR-CH006 notation format either.
They don't change part numbers that previously included quantity numbers to remove them,
so the rear hub retainer ceramic bearing part number is
4-HB-HY123 (HY because it first appeared on Hyperon),
but the new front hub retainer ceramic bearing part number is
HB-BO023 (BO because it first appeared on Bora).
HB-BO023 also comes 4 per box.
This is the BR-CH006. Besides the spring, it comes with a sleeve that reduces friction,
but this is the kind of part you can easily lose, so watch out.
All fixed.
