Thank you all for your input and experience(s) with chipped/cracked SJ Wheels. I'll take it nice and easy when it comes time to truing the wheel and I'll let you know how it turns out.

And to elaborate on the edge-leading / edge-trailing difference, i've come across this distinction many times in the dozen or so articles I've read on the scienceofsharp website , that was mentioned by @john.jcb in another thread.

For instance, this one, where he makes the distinction in what you want for a razor or a knife being very different and also being highly dependant on the stropping technique

Also, keenness can vary dramatically between edge leading and edge trailing honing strokes where identical levels of bevel polish occur.

He also elaborates a lot on how much truth there is to the link between microserrations and grit.

Cheers!

Nick.
