Hello, and Help!
Hello, I need your infinite wisdom. I was looking at a pair of carbon wheels and the description reads,
"Used but in excellent, low milage condition. Rim strips appear to be in great shape. Just a little off true to between 1/32 and 1/16 of an inch. No scratches, scuffs or nicks in the carbon. Very minor cassette bite on the freehub but nothing that would affect the functionality (see pics). Hubs are in great shape. SEE PICS"
My question is regarding the "true between 1/32 and 1/16" description. What exactly does that mean and does it affect the performance of the wheel?
Thanks guys.
