Sorry if any of these seem idiotic, but I have just purchased a new bike and
would like to ask a couple of questions...
1./ How much 'side to side' movement would you consider on a wheel for it
to be untrue enough to return the bike and get new rims? After checking the
bike, I think that there is 1 (possibly 2)mm or so variation in the side of
the rim. Is this considered ok?
2./ For future reference - how much does the process of 'truing' cost?
3./ With the wheels being slightly untrue - how much gap should I leave
between the rim and the brake pads? As little as possible?
Again, apologies if these seem annoying - I just like to check my new stuff
while I still have the chance to do something about it :).
Cheers,
--John
