wildon:
What do you mean by oval?  that the rim is oval shape and not round?!  I have built all my wheels myself and none of them are oval  ???

spleen1970:

kevin (A.K.A) kai riviere:
by oval i mean....when you use the brake blocks as guides it's to see the lateral degree of straight or true. imagine your bike upside down & rear tyre removed, with the wheel in the frame (chain stays). if you were to lay a ruler across the stays & place as close & level as possible to the rim, this will show you whether you're true in the *up & down* or oval as well as using the brake blocks to show the *side to side* or lateral.
