Agreed they should know. When I took the tires off, they were like new having only ~4K miles on them. I saw nothing of the purported cupping he was talking about.

I did consider that but wouldn't a bearing issue also cause play at 6 and 12? The sound I hear when doing the push/pull at 3/9 seems to come from a bit further back as well. Any thoughts?
