You do not have a disc brake do you? If so I do not think most of this will work so well.

No, I know how much a millimeter is. I just have issues when people say 2.5 mm flex on each side is bad for aluminum, but 1.25 (for those 132.5 hubs is ok). Hell, 2.5 mm is only 1/10". Where's the cuttoff? That's what I was asking. Is any flex bad or is it only flex over a certain point? What is that point? That's what I don't know.

Yeah, that's all I was trying to get at. Cannondale seems to think 2mm is ok (and that might be within manufacturing tolerance with some hubs though I'd really hope not as those would probably be some pretty ****ty hubs - it is within tolerance of ERD of some rims I've seen) and they've got 30+ years experience on that, but we all think 5 mm is too much. I'm just wondering where that line is. I guess I'll just accept that it is what it is.
