A customer brought in the front wheel from a Bora One for us to work on.
Back when Bora only came in a 50mm high-rim version,
the model name didn't include the rim height.
Just noting as well — it's a tubular, narrow-rim, internal-nipple specification.
A spoke is broken.
It snapped suddenly with a sharp crack while riding.
Fixed.
↑Replacement spoke
When you fit the broken pieces together perfectly,
you can see that the spoke was already deformed.
A spoke wouldn't simply break suddenly in the middle from fatigue alone,
so regardless of whether the rider noticed anything,
there must have been deformation and cracking before it broke.
Separately from that, the deformation on the nipple end
appears to have been caused by the shock from the break.
