Rim Runout
Set up a dial gauge on the side of the rim and
rotate the wheel to measure its axial runout.
The
difference between the highest and lowest readings
is the amount of runout.
•
Set up the dial gauge on the inner circumference
of the rim and rotate the wheel to measure its ra-
dial runout.
The difference between the highest
and lowest readings is the amount of runout.
•
A certain amount of rim warpage (runout) can be
corrected by recentering the rim, that is, by loos-
ening some spokes and tightening other to change
the position of certain portions of the rim. If the rim
is badly bent, however, it should be replaced.
NOTE
○
The welding spot of the rim may show exces-
sive runout. Disregard this when measuring rim
runout.
