Another day with wheels (and so on).
A customer left me both wheels from Nomu Lab Wheel No. 1.
The hub is a Blackk Hub (← not a typo).
Apparently they collided with an MTB while the rider was checking their phone's GPS map,
and the frame's rear dropout was bent inward.
One spoke was bent.
It's on the freewheel side of a half-comp wheel, so it's a DT Competition spoke.
But aside from directly under that spoke,
the wheel was barely out of true.
Excluding the nipple at the location where I replaced the spoke,
I only touched three spots during truing.
All fixed.

My guess is that the deformation on this spoke was probably unrelated to the accident.
If a spoke gets caught hard on a Metal Kuwagata (→here: Fear Edition) (→here: Terror Edition),
it can cause this kind of deformation.
Next, the front wheel.
With the gauge just touching at the position where it's wobbling most to the left,
I searched for the position where it's wobbling most to the right, and
It was here. What in the world?
It's in a potato chip state.
With the rear dropout bent inward and the rear wheel barely damaged,
only the front wheel has gone into chip mode.
It seems like an MTB came from the left, hit the front wheel from the left side,
and they fell over to the right.
In the middle of transplanting the rim...
Built it up.
Blackk Hub 20H black CX-RAY Aero spokes in radial lacing
with green aluminum nipples.
I also replaced the nipples in addition to the rim.
