MTB hub help.

[Hank Chinaski]

As luck would have it, some dude off a local trail conditions Facebook group just gave me a free set of Hadley wheels. His bike was wrecked 2 years ago from an accident, got hit by a car. The rear wheel was all fucked up, in 4 pieces, thin Crest rim with bladed spokes. The hub appears completely fine though.. No spokes were pulled through, not even gouged into the aluminum at all. Axle rotates freely and smooth. Trying to eyeball it by hand slowly spinning it, I can't see any deformation at all.

Question. Am I good? Do I need to measure if it's perfectly round first? I got rims on the way but haven't ordered spokes yet. I don't want to build it up if it's going to be off centered or somehow "off".

Yeah, it appears to have taken zero damage. I bought a set of hope hubs the day before this guy offered me free wheels. The Hope's felt awesome and then I spun the Hadley's. I had to switch to the Hadley's.
