It's wheels again today (and so on).
A customer left me both wheels of the Nomu Lab Wheel No. 1 for repair.
The hub is a Blaack Hub (← that's not a typo).
Apparently they had an accident with an MTB while driving and looking at their phone's map,
and the rear end of the frame was bent inward.
One spoke was bent.
It's on the freewheel side of the semi-competition build, so it's a DT Competition spoke.
But aside from directly below this spoke,
the wheel was barely out of true at all.
Except for the nipple at the location where I replaced this spoke,
I only touched 3 spots while truing.
It's fixed.
↑ the replaced spoke
This is just speculation, but this spoke deformation was probably unrelated to the accident.
Metal Kuwagata (→here: Horror Edition) (→here: Chill Edition)
can cause this kind of deformation when you snag a spoke strongly.
Next up, the front wheel.
I positioned the gauge so it just barely touches at the phase with the most runout to the left,
and searched for the phase with the most runout to the right
And it was here. What the heck.
It's in a potato chip state.
The rear end is bent inward and the rear wheel is nearly undamaged,
yet only the front wheel is completely warped.
An MTB came flying in from the left side and hit the front wheel from the side (left side),
which caused them to fall to the right, I'd guess.
The rim is moving house...
All built up.
Blaack Hub 20H black CX-RAY outpoke radial lace with
green aluminum nipples.
I also renewed the nipples in addition to the rim.
