I've got a WH-6700 wheel in the shop from a customer.
Though really I've got one of them—
the one with the red tires in the photo above.
The red tire one took impact from a crash that dented the rim pretty bad,
so the customer is having me build a new wheel using the hub—what I'm calling the Nomu Lab Wheel #1.
Apparently that wheel had been gathering dust ever since the rim went bad about a year ago,
but since they needed a functioning wheel, they bought another one for the rear wheel,
which is the WH-6700 with the black tire at the beginning.
The black tire WH-6700 came in attached to the bike,
but while I was poking around doing other maintenance work, I noticed
one spot with some pretty noticeable wobble.
The customer knew about it already and said,
"Yeah, I bent a spoke when I caught the rear derailleur."
↑Right there.
Like I've mentioned before, bent spokes can look pretty straight
when they're still tensioned in the wheel,
but once you release the tension they're often way more bent than you'd think.
I pulled one spoke from the red tire wheel and transplanted it over.
Same owner, so no problem there.
The fully assembled Altus hub for #1 still doesn't have its spokes in yet, so please hang tight.
