I received an R-SYS SLR from a customer for service.
This customer also owns an older R-SYS model, and when we inspected that one here previously,
the ride feel improved noticeably, so they asked us to service this one too.
I remember that previous inspection well—
that unit was definitely loose all over
(whether it was like that from the factory or developed over time is unclear, but probably both)
so it made sense that even just bringing it back to proper factory tension made such a difference.
We tightened it up a bit more from there as well.
This R-SYS has tension in all the right places, so
the work is just truing and centering.
The front wheel was perfectly centered and had virtually no runout.
The rear wheel is the usual story.
