A customer brought in the front wheel of a Zonda for us to work on.
In the image above, you can see a magnet attached to the spoke at roughly the 12 o'clock position,
and if you look clockwise to the next spoke, you can see it's bent.
↑This one
Actually, at this point I had already removed the tension,
so the deformation is more obvious.
All fixed.
For something like this, I often don't even take photos for the blog,
and even when I do, I don't usually post about it...
↑The replacement spoke
As for what caused the spoke to bend:
"The foot slipped when failing to properly clip into the pedal binding
and hit the front wheel."
It's not an unheard-of incident, but this article serves as a safety reminder—something to watch out for.
