Racing Speed XLR

I received a Racing Speed XLR from a customer.

In Bora terms, this is the model equivalent to the Ultra,
with a carbon hub shell and CULT bearing model.

It's not brand new, but it looks like it was used with tubular tape,
and the outer side is in excellent condition.

With the internal nipple generation Bora and Racing Speed,
the Kevlar that's sandwiched in the structure is visible through the rim holes.

No centering offset detected. There was slight runout, so
if I looked hard enough, I might find a phase with centering offset of about paper thickness.
After truing, I confirmed there was no centering offset.

Now for the rear wheel.

The ratchet teeth area was completely dry, as if degreased
(though it was probably just grease starvation),
and the ratchet sound was high and noisy,
so I applied grease before assembling the freebody.
I forgot to mention this earlier, but both front and rear hubs
had the CULT seats starting to contact, so
I only checked for play and did nothing else.
If used as-is, the rotation will become even smoother.

I got a temporary perfect center, but as I did truing in various spots,
centering offset appeared, so I corrected that at the end.
