Not sure where to ask this but:
Recently purchased a Shimano RS500 30mm bladed spoke wheelset. Everything seems fine, nice and true and they spin very freely. However looking closely at the front hub and the DS flange while the wheel is spinning reveals a vertical movement in the hub shell/flange, like it's out of round or there's a bent axle or something. Thing is it's perfectly true at the rim, maybe .5mm vertical movement at the rim, if that. So what could be going on? Warped hub shell? There's no play in the bearings either. I am not overly worried as the wheelset was £80 but I have never seen a hub look out of round. Shimano QC slipping?
