Title: Slightly bent hub flange,will it build up ok?
Post by: rooski on January 26, 2012, 07:27 PM: Just got a set of high flange hubs,one has a bend on the hub flange,probably about 1.5mm out of true :(

Question is how close does it have to be to build up ok ???,i can get it better though,probably within .5mm

Thanks Andy :)

I reckon straightening it is risky, just build it up and compensate when truing :daumenhoch:
