If that's more than 15cm of circumference I'd be really surprised. I tried out measuring thickness of the whole rim, carbon fairing and all, and it's surprisingly consistent, 60.04+/-2mm everywhere I measured. So if I measure at several points in the area I'm sanding, and go slowly, I can control the amount sanded pretty carefully, and keep material removed to a minimum.
That means of course there will only be one place on the rim I can put the tire on, and only on one side, but I can live with that. I'll put a sticker of some kind on it so I can find it.
This gets weirder every time I read it. I thought it a bad idea but figured I'd be entertained reading the "why it's a bad idea" posts. Then I learned about the KoolStop Jack and learned something valuable... a thumbs up for Bike Forums. But now back here in the sturm und drang of this bizarre thread I learn that you actually want to sand your rim
out of round... but only on one side and just where it "gets tight."
