Is 1mm tolerable for a trispoke
It's probably within manufacturer's tolerance if it's 1mm total indicated axial run-out. Whether it's tolerable is another matter, I think @xavierdisley found that small amounts of run-out noticeably degrade aero performance of the Hed3
AFAIK, Hed3 is supposed to be <.030" TIR axial, which is 0.75mm in the 99% of the world which has gone over to the Napoleonic system. Some of the Chinese sourced wheels only aim for double that as a QC pass.

In need of some advice: recently got back into timetrialling and bought a PX clincher trispoke off a FB swap/sell page. Wheel looks in good condition and has (allegedly) only be used for 4 Club 10's. The wheel spins well but is about 1mm out of true - I used paypal so can send the item back easily if I want.
Is 1mm tolerable for a trispoke or will it only get worse in the future?
Cheers
