A customer left me a Bora 35
tubular rim from the narrow rim era for servicing.


The year after the Bora 35 came out,
both it and the earlier Bora (50mm depth)
were converted to wide rim specifications,
so this version only existed for one year.
Personally, I think it's
the greatest complete wheel Campagnolo ever made.
It's not new, but it's in really nice condition.


The rim had shifted to the right side (the side without the bearing cone adjuster nut),


but it's fixed now.
There was barely any runout either.
Also, both wheels had first-generation valve bushings
(the guards that prevent valve hole rattle),
so I replaced them with current-model (third generation) ones.

Next, the rear wheel.

Being original equipment,
the Shimano freebody is steel.
I haven't replaced that.


The rim had shifted to the right side (freewheel side).
Multi-speed rear wheels have significant dish angle,
and even with storage rather than use,
the center will shift over a decade or so.
Given the amount of shift here,
I suspect it was probably slightly off to the right even when new.


Fixed that too.
It definitely hasn't gotten much use,
but the CULT bearings had a smooth, well-worn feel to them.
