Just dug out my Ultegra 6800 wheelset after they've been hung up for 2 years, with a view to sell. They've done just under 500 miles and as you'd expect spin flawlessly etc etc. There is however, upon the closest ear to the hub inspection, a tiny swish noise where the hub turns against the seal (one side is fixed to the hub, the other isn't). Can't be heard otherwise - There is not an iota of roughness or hindrance, they spin and return immediately to valve hole at 1200 position. Is this just a result of newness that will disappear?
