I took in an R-SYS SLR from a customer.

The front wheel


had a centering deviation of about one sheet of paper,
but it's such a small amount that some centering gauges wouldn't even detect it.


The rear wheel


looks perfectly centered in this photo,
but since there was some runout, a slight deviation
should be detectable depending on the measuring position.
I fixed both anyway.
But what really surprised me was...



This R-SYS SLR also had QRM-SL quick-release dropouts with just one groove.
This is a separate case from the R-SYS SLR I serviced the other day (here), just to be clear.
Because they're from different years, the MAVIC stickers on the rim are in two places on today's bike,
but three places on the one from the other day.

This R-SYS SLR also showed almost no signs of actual use,
and the customer wouldn't possibly know about the QRM-SL dropout issue,
so of course the single groove was there from the start.
The manufacturer must be swapping out dropouts during factory testing
until there's no play,
but shipping with anything other than four grooves just doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it.
