[QUOTE="Toothmech, post: 950877, member: 56605"] Hey guys, been fighting with the rear wheel on my CR250 now for some time. Finally got all the nipples unseized (they move, but not all move smoothly. I straightened the flat spots or "flares" in the rim from a big get-off I had a while back with a wrench, and commenced to try to true the wheel on the bike in the swingarm. My question is how close do things need to be to not notice while riding the bike? I think I have it down to less than 1/8" runout laterally and maybe a little more than that in circumferential runout. The rim is pretty wavy from what I can tell, so I don't know if I am just crappy at wheel truing (most likely), or if that's just as close as I am going to get it (also likely). Also, anyone out there who has tried truing a wheel, did you worry about resetting the offset to factory specs? What happens if you don't. I know I should just buy a new hoop and spokes and then do it right, but money is tight, and I am only gonna have this bike for another year or two, so I am trying to keep the amount of money I throw at it to a minimum. Any help's appreciated. Thanx [/QUOTE]
