Peter brought this wheel to me with a broken spoke but after a quick look it was clear that the wheel needed to be rebuilt. The build quality was very poor and had caused one of the spokes to break just below the spoke nipple. Peter is off to the Long Distance World Champs in a week’s time and didn’t want to take any risks.

I rebuilt the wheel with Sapim CX-Ray spokes and Zipp internal nipples. The original spokes were DT Swiss Aerolites and I’m not sure what the original nipples were but they were not designed for this rim.

The 240s hub is in great shape.

The wheel is now true and should last many race kms.
