Now there's some obscure laws of physics at work! It seems totally counter-intuitive to me, but almost makes sense when I think about it from the tire's perspective.
Thanks for the good advice guys.
Fechter- Once I figure out how to pop the side covers off (will post some pictures), I'll experiment with turning them and re-measuring. That's plan a.
Patrick- You have a good point. I'm 100% sure that I can lace a wheel to roll true in the lateral and radial planes. It will take a little more fine-tuning on the truing stand -but I have zero guarantee that the hopping will be removed by doing this.
When I was blissfully unaware of this motors' condition, I might have just laced it up and run with it.. but I've seen the numbers on the dial indicator.
My intuition is telling me that I need to start with a true-running hub motor, or I'll just end up unlacing it, repairing the problem and re-lacing it.. again.
The worst-case scenario is that I have a tacoed wheel to offer "The Gods of Speed". But, I think they already have enough :lol:
