WRT the comment about the bump due to the valve not seating in the rim. I am in the process of reading "The art of Wheel Building" where the author states that this is sometimes a problem. His solution or minimizing the impact, is to champfer the valve hole. The example picture shows material being removed toward the side wall of the rims.
hoping to get out today for a ride later. Temps should be really good!
Enjoy the ride!
