But I'm way within that. I don't use a dial indicator, but after a full true and spin, the rim seems frozen laterally. Challenge yourself, get it as close as you can. That's the advantage of truing it yourself. You have time.

Others have opined that I don't need to try for such heights:
"If spec wasn't good enough, spec wouldn't be spec."
Heh, I threw in the RMS for a bit of a joke but it actually doesn't seem like a bad idea. I always assumed p-p was implied until I saw so many people talking +/-. Thanks for the input!
