A customer brought in an R9100 C24 for inspection.
They've quietly discontinued the tubeless (TL) wheels, so
I don't think they need to include "CL" at the end of the part number anymore.
They're requesting an inspection. Let's start with the rear wheel.
It's extremely rare to have R9100 wheels brought in,
and except for when I bought a C60-CL rear wheel myself for disassembly purposes,
this is my first time inspecting a brand new one.
This is the state after work,
and the preliminary centering before work wasn't off either.
I thought posting nearly identical images would be redundant, so I'm only showing this one.
There was a slight wobble in the rim.
Next, the front wheel.
At the wheel assembly factory in Malaysia,
apparently only the top-tier elite workers are allowed to touch
Dura-Ace wheels,
but this one is quite a bit off center.
I wonder how this passed quality control at Shimano.
Fixed it.
The wobble was more pronounced than on the rear wheel.
