  1. What do you all think is a reasonable standard of trueness
    for a disk wheel? I just got a new FalconSports Accel II
    disk and it's probably 1/16" out of true. I can't tell
    exactly, but I know thats it's vastly less true than any
    regular wheel I have.

    I returned the first Accel disk I got because it was at
    least
    1/4" off. I'm hesistant to return another one for fear that
    I'm just being too picky. What think ye?

    tia, Jens

    Every carbon wheel I've ever seen has been out of true more
    than I would want...most makers have some sort of standards
    on what they consider true and not. If the 1/16 is outside
    of Accel's standards then I'd return it, if not, then
    probably not. I've never really tried to measure the one's
    I've seen, but 1/16 doesn't seem like much to me.

    Do you have any other disc wheels to compare with your
    wheel. Out of five I've owned the best I've ever seen was
    2mm - each way, the others were worse.

    No discs. I have pairs of Hed3s and ACs (with zipp 404
    rims). The difference is night and day. They are vastly
    truer than the Accel disk.
