ok with what you got... Make sure the tire bead is properly seated, check the wheel in a truing stand if it was new and you put some miles on it...other than that enjoy your new
wheel set they're fine...
I was working on a cheap bike at bicycle works last night that had a free hub... it wobbled an 1/8 of an inch but it was actually caused by the el cheapo parts...[/font]
An 1/8 of and inch I would be worried, the wheels have done no miles yet, I adjusted the brakes so they were just a fraction off the rim and there was no rub so this is what made me think the wheel is true, I would understand a bit of movement if it were while I peddled with the force of the chain but it's while the wheel is freewheeling and the cassette isn't turning it wobbles, I'll get it on the road soon,
I've been waiting for the tool to tighten the hollowtech II plastic plug on the chainset, couldn't wait any longer so took it to LBS and they over tightend it and the crank don't turn freely anymore, I kept saying shimano says just nip it up but they said don't listen to shimano, the plug acts like a torque adapter and you tighten it until it slips, I said as it's a plastic plug if you tighten it until it slips it's slipping because the thread is being mangled, I got it out of there quick but now I gotta wait till I get the tool to see if they've damaged it.
I kept hearing a little voice saying, "you've spent £500 on upgrades don't take it to the bike shop", but I couldn't wait, lesson learned. DIY
