A customer brought in a Neutron rear wheel for repair.

It got hit from behind by an acquaintance's bike,
and one spoke is bent.
The customer had already marked it with tape,

Since this isn't a Neutron Ultra, there's no drilling between the rim holes.

The hub shell is aluminum, and the spokes use a hooked attachment rather than threading through.

The original silver-spoke Neutron has brass nipples,
the Neutron Ultra has aluminum nipples,
and this later-model black-spoke Neutron has aluminum nipples too.

All fixed.

The special washer under the spoke head could have been reused,

but since I have plenty in stock, I replaced it.
