I had a frame in for component swap that had a

Ksyrium SLR wheel on it, but
the tension on the freewheel side of the rear wheel felt abnormally loose,
so I inspected it.



There's some centering offset, but there's a phase where it dips significantly,
so this temporary center doesn't mean much.
If I search around, there's probably a phase that's more precisely centered,
and there's also probably a phase with more runout.


The rim had a buckling crease, and

the bead hook was deformed.


It's not completely back to normal, but it's considerably better.
What's even more troubling is that this buckling phase
is not the same as the largest lateral runout.
I worked down the runout in the direction that reduces centering offset,
and after I'd chased it down thoroughly, there was still a faint centering offset,
so finally I did the centering adjustment for that.
