I purchase a BNIB Zipp Super 9 from a fellow Slowtwitcher via the classifieds. As advertised, it arrived looking brand new with all the accompaniments you'd expect from Zipp ... the little booklet and bag with brake pads, rim strip, skewer, valve extender, etc. It all looks very legit and there's not a mark on the freehub body. Just mounted it up today and it's surprisingly out-of-true. It's rideable, but this is on a P5 with Magura brakes and, to get the brakes wide enough to handle the wobble in the wheel, I almost need to pull the lever to where it hits the base bar to get any braking in the work stand. Haven't taken it on the road yet. If I had to put a number on it, I'd say it's 2 mm out of true at the worst point.
What say you Super 9 owners. Did I get taken? Do y'all have any slop like this in your wheels? The thing is gorgeous otherwise and doesn't appear to have taken a hit of any kind.
Just curious before I "do battle" if necessary.
