help truing new wheel
I just built a new rear wheel. It's a 32-spoke 700C. I got it true
and round, except for a slight "hop" near the seam, and I'm not sure how to remove it. Anybody have any suggestions about how to remove such a "hop"? Thanks! |

The spokes near rim joint often require more tension than the rest of the wheel for what it's worth, so if it's "hopping" in a way that that would help--it's pretty normal--pull it into shape. |

Anybody have any suggestions about how to remove such a "hop"? Thanks! 700C? What's that? It's an obsolete term. I know that because Tom Sherman said so. |

Sometimes sandpaper is the best solution. If it's at the seam, you
might not be able to get it out, and risk overtightening the spokes trying. I wrecked a Campy NR hub that way... JG |

I just built a new rear wheel. It's a 32-spoke
700C. I got it true and round, except for a slight "hop" near the seam, and I'm not sure how to remove it. Anybody have any suggestions about how to remove such a "hop"? Thanks! "In both welded and spliced rims spoke tension may not be uniform near the joint. However, completely correcting this error may be impossible." - Jobst Brandt My own experience includes accepting a .030" radial hop at the joint in MTB rims. On road rims I've learned to "persuade" the joint just a bit prior to lacing. I have found successfully over coming the rim joint "hop", one of the more rewarding aspects of wheel building.

Anybody have any suggestions about how to remove such a "hop"? Can you feel it when you ride? If not, I would ignore the hop. I have no idea ho big the hop is but if it can be felt when braking, that's what I find important. What brand of rim is this and what shape is it. If its a deep section aero rim you can't get rid of the hop, but then that's the price you pay for the modern components. They look fast but don't deliver where it counts. Jobst Brandt |
