A customer dropped off a Shamal Mille rear wheel for service.

Before starting work, the preliminary center check shows the rim is offset in several phases—sometimes it's out, sometimes it's shifted toward the freewheel side.
There aren't any spots where it's shifted toward the non-freewheel side,
so overall it leans freewheel-side, but the fact that the answer changes depending on which phase I apply the centering gauge to
means there's a fair amount of lateral runout.
I mention this from time to time, but when a customer brings in just the front wheel or just the rear wheel
it means there's a symptom obvious enough for them to notice,
so it's rarely a minor issue.
This time there was a noticeable amount of lateral runout,
but there was no spoke bending or rim deformation.
After the work, the wheel is in pristine condition—cleaner than a brand new one fresh off the shelf.
