A customer brought me a WH-RS80 wheelset.


Apparently it's been ridden for about four years with zero maintenance.
I decided to do a front hub overhaul since I felt it needed it based on how it felt.
The rear hub was in good condition.
The rim had a bit of runout from being ridden that long, and the center was slightly off in both directions.
The rear rim had shifted toward the non-freewheel side
so I was forced to choose between either tightening the freewheel side (which I didn't want to tighten) or loosening the non-freewheel side (which I didn't want to loosen).
I went with tightening the freewheel side.
(It worked out well since the rim's lateral deviation wasn't that severe)
