A customer brought in a Racing Zero Carbon (high-end racing wheel) for service.

By the law that says "whenever a customer brings in either the front or rear wheel,
there's definitely a visible defect that catches their eye,"
this one also had lateral runout.

The tentative center reading before inspection was off,
but since there was runout on both sides, it's unclear if it was actually off-center.
（There's a chance I happened to measure at the spot with the most lateral runout）

In cases like this, the approach is to dial out all the runout first, then check centering with the gauge,
and only adjust if it's actually off.

The reason I check the tentative center reading before work is:
when there's minimal runout but the center offset is significant,
I can accomplish centering while truing one side, saving time,
and for example, if the wheel is drifted toward the non-freewheel side but I start by
tightening the non-freewheel side spokes, I'd temporarily increase the center offset,
creating extra work — checking the tentative center helps avoid this kind of mistake.
