Hope you aren't including me in that bunch of guys. A look back will show I never posted any tolerances. not to mention I said I can build a wheel that lasts as long as the brake surface which is the way it is supposed to be when it comes to the life of a wheel. As far as matching a pro, can she make the brake surface last more than 20,000 miles? If so, I'd like to know how so I can get more mileage out of my wheels.

BTW, speaking of shims to measure, that's what feeler gauges are used for.

Of course imo that would be a waste of time so I don't use them, I use the gauges on my stand to check true without making claims in numbers.
