Hello all I need a little help with my wheel build. I just finished building and truing my new set of wheels. ( Rhyno Lite XL rims with Sun Ringle Super Stock hubs and Halo Aura black spokes)
I have both wheels pretty much perfectly Tru both Radially and Laterally. But one section is giving me problems on both wheels right where the welded joint is. The welded joint section jets out radially about .5 to 1mm on both rims and I can't pull it in. Is it normal for most rims to do that at the Joint and should I even worry about it?

Make sure you try not only adding tension to the one side opposite of the misalignment, but also removing some from the opposing side.

Yes, the seam always protrudes a bit. I've logged a couple hundred wheel builds and the seam is usually the only fussy spot.

GalenS is right. Common problem, but half to one mm is so small you won't feel it when riding. If your spoke tension is good and even and the wheel is otherwise okay, go ride!
