Araya RM400 rim question

shawnb · Feb 29, 2016

Hi all, I've purchased these rims on ebay and noticed the 'dish' on the braking surface. An ad on here states they have a dish from new and also another araya auction on ebay the seller states they have a dish from new.
Here is mine, is this within tolerance? the surface is uniform and not particularly dmaged so I thought I'd ask before they get built up!

Cheers.

Looks ok to me, they are concave from new.

If you look on goggle images you will find an advert for RM400s, it
shows a cross section and you can see the convexness.

Re:

Yep the RM400 Pro used Araya pioneering concave technology
Later they went flat with the RM400 Pro-XC
