A customer brought me a Campagnolo Pista front wheel for service.
I'm not sure if this is the matching pair for the rear wheel from that Araya ADX 1-S I worked on the other day,
but it's from the same customer.
The rim in the back is my own—a rear rim.
I didn't buy a Pista rear wheel;
I purchased this rim by itself ages ago.
I only just discovered this time that there are specification differences in the sticker lettering size.
My rear rim has quite a thick bed of rim cement on it, and
it originally weighed in the 690g range,
but now it's over 700g.
This rim isn't perfectly rigid, but
it hardly deforms from spoke tension,
so I've found it invaluable for checking left-right alignment and such.
Of course, it's not an offset rim.
There's a step that looks like an unfinished brake zone,
and it apparently can be used with rim brakes.
I've actually built a road rear wheel with this and used it,
but there are no brake marks on it because I don't use the rear brake.
Back to the customer's Pista.
I forgot to photograph it, but I did overhaul the hub.
I have three types of grease I use in cup-and-cone bearings depending on the situation,
and this one uses one of those—the red grease.
You can see a hint of red in the image above.
This grease is fine in itself, but
it tends to dye the white waterproof seal that comes on current Campagnolo hubs pink,
so I don't use it much for those.
This time, since all the hub components are metal, I went with this one.
It had absolutely flawless lateral run-out
（perhaps it seems even more so because the lateral drift from spoke tension is completely absent）,
but it did have a center offset.
I corrected the center offset.
The C-ring-shaped dust cap covering the grease hole on the hub shell has no CAMPAGNOLO markings or anything else.
The hub axle has no left-right distinction, and since the spokes are laced radially on this front wheel,
there would seem to be no left-right basis for this wheel... but there is one thing.
↑The sticker directly below the valve hole is reversed on the left and right sides of the wheel—
the "manufacturer name" and "model name" are swapped.
So if you have a rear wheel（the Pista rear wheel uses a single-threaded hub, so left-right orientation is clear）,
please mount the tire to match it.
