I bought the wheelset new, so up until recently the wheel was great.

Last ride I ran through some debris, flatted, and must have been on the rim longer than I realized...hence the flat spot I couldn't adjust out...

Also, I spoke to the Easton repair guy and he said with that offset spoke bed the only way to adjust radial trueness is via the weaker, offset rim side.

I've built wheels before so I may just find another hub and play around with it...

Just to cover all bases, is there any chance the one spot you couldn't get true was at the rim seam?
