Rear Wheel Concentricity

[GettinBetter]

I was running in gear on the centre stand, to oil the chain, and noticed this.....

Now I've spent a large proportion of my life as a centre lathe turner where concentricity is the be all and end all of a good job.

This does not sit well with me.

Your thoughts please.

You're going to get people telling you how dangerous that is because if you slipped then your fingers or penis could be chopped off in a painful and messy way.

Looks like a spoked wheel so when your fingers grow back you could have a go at truing it.

Rim doesn't seem all that bad. Maybe more the tyre? Is is seated properly (even gap between the rim and indicator line all the way round?).

Remember spoked motorcycle rims generally have a "tick" on them where they were welded together, discount this from your runout.

My nephews CG125 wheel had so much loose in the spokes that I'm surprised he could ride it, it was shaking all over the place , he has only got a degree in mechanical engineering , but frankly if you sexually assaulted him with a screwdriver , he wouldn't be able to tell you which end it was....

It's one of those little things one should not bare thinking about whilst riding the hoowur. 😎

You shoudl relace it with only leading spokes, trailing spokes only slow you down...

This on a 125? Wheel imperfections get more dramatic at high speed and as you won't be doing that I wouldn't worry

You've never felt anything while riding it before now.

But after seeing it you'll be bounced out of the seat the moment you set off
