A customer left me the front wheel of a Shamal Ultra (Campagnolo high-end wheel).
A weasel-like creature darted across in front of the rider ahead,
causing an emergency brake application,
and the rider clipped the wheel at an angle
The foot came out of the pedal clip and got shoved into the front wheel,
snapping the spokes clean off.
It's fixed now.
I replaced 6 consecutive spokes on one side.
↑Replaced spokes
Not in their original adjacent positions.
The top 2 spokes in the image had fracture surfaces that matched up.
The 3rd spoke from the top is partially missing.
A single impact wouldn't cause spokes to break in two separate places.
According to the customer, the cleat on the shoe shattered,
so there must have been additional damage from that.
The bottom spoke had relatively less deformation, but
the scratches were deep, so I replaced it.
If there were no gouges, I would have bent it back straight and reused it,
after getting the customer's approval beforehand.
Bonus
This Shamal Ultra customer came to my shop for the first time,
from W Prefecture (Wakayama), and it turned out
our regular riding routes overlap a bit,
but separately from that, a regular customer from S Prefecture (Shiga)
brought in about 6 pairs of wheels for inspection.Watch out.
While this was a scheduled appointment,
I wasn't told the actual number beforehand,
so it was a bit of an ambush.
Not that I'm mad about it or anything.
It's just that between yesterday's disc hose replacement
and today's wheel work, I couldn't get anything else done.

Truing the Nomu Lab (custom wheel brand) Wheel No. 5,
inspection and parts replacement (missing dust caps, etc.) on
a narrow-rim era Bora tubular,
and inspection of Racing Zero Nite wheels with C15 and C17 rims,
and Shamal Mille wheels.
Of these, the C15 rim Shamal Mille rear wheel was pretty rough—
it had such bad radial runout that the customer mentioned it beforehand.
The nipples weren't stripped, but showed signs of previous handling.
The spoke tension was over-tightened from some amateur adjustments,
so I loosened it up and did the truing and centering.
Also, though I didn't take photos,
there was a front wheel from a brand that starts with S and ends with A—5 letters total—
and its center was way off, so I corrected that too.
