I received a Ksyrium SLR (carbon road wheel set) from a customer for service.


The front wheel was perfectly centered with almost no runout.
The rear wheel's rim had shifted toward the non-drive side,
but since there was barely any runout, I just tightened the drive-side spokes to center it and thought I was done.
I didn't want to remove the freewheel cog, so I wanted to leave the non-drive-side spokes completely untouched...
but in the end there was one spot where I absolutely had to turn a nipple.
I had that internal conflict of "well, this amount of runout is probably fine,"
but I felt like compromising on details like this would rot the whole job,
so I removed the freewheel cog and touched up the non-drive side a bit too.
↑I know I'm being preachy here, but honestly,
if this was my own bike I probably would've just adjusted the drive side and called it done.


The bearings are NTN 6901LU, same as the Ksyrium from my last post.
The wear marks on the ring attached to the spoke head
are all biased toward the inside, so it looks like the non-drive-side
nipples have never been touched before.
