A customer dropped off the front wheel from a Racing Zero Competizione (high-end Italian wheelset) for repair.

One spoke was bent,
and it was causing runout at that particular point.


↑ This one here
The customer said they hit their cycling shoe's toe
when dismounting and stopping.



All fixed.


↑ The replacement spoke


You can clearly see the bend in the spoke,


but there was also a sliding mark from something hard on the spoke's side.
So rather than just the toe hitting it, I'd say the hard sole
scraped along and struck it more of a glancing blow.
