Campagnolo Backbone Blowout Sale apparel section update.
They said they'd let us know inventory status through shipment contents,
but from the 5th and 6th shipments onward, order fulfillment has dropped off dramatically.
Unlike the wheel section, they said there's no time limit,
but still, once inventory runs out it's over—we're probably nearing the end.
Socks in gray/black and solid black are sold out in all sizes.
The light blue/blue we had in stock here is completely sold out too.
For the wheel section, the last Bora WTO 45 DB Dark Label
that we'd had in stock from the beginning—
the customer wanted a SRAM XDR freebody,
but our supplier had gone on Obon break,
so after they returned I went and got the freebody directly.
The SRAM XDR freebody comes with
three types of spacers between the freebody and end nut.
I'm calling them 0-groove, 1-groove, and 2-groove respectively,
but the 1-groove, which alone is a different thickness, is almost never used.
That's because almost no through-axle frames exist with rim brake specs.
The 0-groove and 2-groove are the same thickness,
but the 2-groove is exclusive to the Zonda DB,
so disc brake wheels basically use 0-groove.
I took measurements of the non-freebody side of the rear wheel.
There appears to be a gap between the measuring tool and the end surface,
but that's because the black split component isn't at the hub end face—
the silver hub axle sticks out slightly more.
Even when swapping from a Shimano or Campagnolo freebody
to a 0-groove spacer plus SRAM XDR freebody,
I don't think centering was necessary,
which means this is an unusually large center offset for Bora.
The image above shows one groove—that's the end nut, not the spacer,
just to be clear. The spacer is 0-groove.
I centered it.
There was some runout too, but I fixed that.
The front wheel was perfectly centered and had only minimal runout.
↑This is the XDR freebody.
This time I'm treating it as "it came with this freebody from the start,"
but currently, Campagnolo wheels can only be set up this way
by buying either a Shimano or Campagnolo version
and then swapping in a separate SRAM XDR freebody—
or so I wrote the other day. But another distributor does have
XDR-spec wheels available from the start.
However, all of them showed zero inventory.
It seems like groundwork for eventually keeping them in stock regularly.
I mean, it's obviously necessary when you think about it.
