Naboya-san Visited the Shop

Today, Naboya-san (→here) came to the shop.
He thought the senbei (rice crackers) (→here) might still be in stock
and came to pick some up.

I took in a Cosmic Pro Carbon SL UST wheel for servicing.

The wheel was out of true, so

I'm fixing it while doing wheel truing work.
I didn't take photos, but the front wheel was also misaligned.
For the rear wheel, there is a rational reason to allow slight anti-freewheel side runout,
but there's no such justification
for the front wheel on rim brakes.

Recently I don't usually take photos for articles during simple inspections.
Today I also inspected
a different vintage version of the same wheel model (rim with almost no decals) as a separate job.

Looks like there's still stock.
I took in a Racing Zero rear wheel for servicing.

A spoke was broken partway through.
According to the customer, it suddenly snapped with a bang while riding,
so there must have been a crack from some cause beforehand.

All fixed.
