A customer brought in the front wheel from a Racing 3DB for repairs.


Two spokes were broken.
Since this wheel has high tension and few spokes,
the rim was severely wobbling all over the place.
Some shops would probably take one look at the deformed rim and insist you'd have to buy a new wheel.

It's fixed.
Besides the two broken spokes,
there were three more deformed spokes,
so I replaced a total of five spokes.

↑The spokes I replaced

The two broken ones

The two bent ones

The fifth one looks straight at first glance, but

it has an impact dent and waves when you run your finger over it.
I noticed this spoke after finishing the first four replacements because there was still some wobble I couldn't correct.
