wr0ngway Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 "on the balancer it wobbles slightly by less than 1/32 of an inch, please see all pictures for details and fitment. " Should I worry? Its better than the banged up wheel I have now, but if its still sketchy then why bother, i'll just get a refund and buy one of the other wheels available? The seller is very accommodating, not a con (though i guess he is a wheeler-dealer ) and is going to make an even trade for the wheel I bought last month which doesn't fit. I should have looked more closely at the picture, I was thinking there might be a difference in the spoke style but it would still fit, but its not even close, wrong number of rotor bolts, number of pads, thinner spokes, geez! btw, any idea what kind of bike its for? Thanks for your, uh, opinion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your, uh, opinion... I've never checked runout on a bike wheel, car wheels commonly have more than 1/32. The one you bought says Honda on it and CBR1100 in the description (clearly not right), and sv650 in his fitment guide. This guy needs to get his shit together. I'd probably not give him any of my money unless I really had no better choice. Is he the only guy with one for sale? Seems kinda high for a used wheel unless it's in really good shape.

wr0ngway Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 i already bought and received the first one, $71.00 total. He'll send me the correct wheel, even trade, or just a refund. Either way I'm shipping the first one back to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Do the swap, Dave. You'll never notice the .03125 inches. I have no idea what wheel you have. It looks and checks out to fit an F4i, but its very un-Honda-like with the slab sided spokes rather than a gentle curve. Anyway, understandable mistake and the seller wishes to rectify it, so trade him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptxyz Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 wheels with much more runout have been purchased through ebay... here's my experience; http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=80709&hl= i don't think you'd feel that little runout but, i'm no expert. given you're alreay in with the seller, i'd lean toward giving them a chance to do you right. my experience has taught me that there's something to be said for the security of dealing with a "brick and mortar" you can return to w/o too much expense / inconvenience. my rear with rotor & good bearings was $150 and about 25 minutes away. runout? i didn't measure but, it (if any) was imperceptable on the stand or by the seat of my pants.
