    Long rant about roadies and repair work

    i see where your coming from, but the majority of the repairs most shops (in the uk at least do), are setting up brakes, changing pads, fixing punctures all little jobs on $100-400 bikes that take 10-15 mins and can make some cash to keep the shops running for the actual riders rather than just...

    Long rant about roadies and repair work

    wheel out of true?

    i've managed to build about 8 wheels using the frame and a few spokes as guides. yes, its harder to get a perfect wheel within 0.5mm in every direction, but you just have to take some time about it, give it a try yourself, if you screw up, it won't cost much if any more, and if you get it...
