I received both front and rear wheels of a Bora WTO45 from a customer.


These are wheels for rim brakes.
Let me start with the front wheel.
The customer requested CULT (Ceramic Ultra Light Technology) conversion and inspection for both wheels.

I removed the USB axle.

I pressed in the CULT axle.


I reassembled the hub and applied the centering gauge.
The rim is offset to the left.

↑About this much
Since I didn't check the preliminary center before disassembling anything,
I can't determine whether the center shifted due to
hub disassembly or axle removal.


I adjusted the centering.
The wheel had almost no lateral runout to begin with.

Next, the rear wheel.


I replaced the axle with CULT.
The CULT bearing for the front wheel is from our shop's inventory,
but the one for the rear wheel is a customer-supplied part.
It apparently came from a Zonda that was previously converted to CULT,
and the customer removed it themselves.


I reassembled the hub and applied the centering gauge.
At that point, I also checked to make sure
the freewheel body bearing and
the pawl spring had no abnormalities, just to be safe.
The rim is offset on the non-freewheel side.


I adjusted the centering with a slight increase in tightness on the freewheel side.
Like the front wheel, this one also had essentially no runout.
