My shop hooks me up on a lot of things. I'm one of the few guys who brings them beer after, and I am the only DH guy they have come in. I wrench on the 303 on my own, but wheels are black magic to me.
And in this case, it pays if they carry me to the end of the season. GFF, be ready after the end of this season for two king hubs and some 823's to show up on your doorstep.

I put loctite on my nipples too.
$58 in the Burlington, VT area to have a 32 spoke wheel re-laced with new spokes in the past couple of weeks.
Beat on them with a mace.
Wow, went in to get my wheels.
Final Cost: $0.00
Just looked at me, said "happy birthday" and handed me my wheels.

Free is always good. Cool shop.
I was pretty damn excited by it as I am dead broke right now.
That is what happens when you own 2 yetis
I was wondering when the knee pads were going to come into the picture
Seeing as they replaced 14 spokes, a bunch of nipples, tore down and rebuilt the rear wheel with spoke prep, and everything is now better, I would have taken a shot in the mouth for that.
I think that might qualify me for the gay for pay tag from my ass shaving thread.

dude, I would have fixed your wheels for free, you just would have had to wait for the shipping.

With or without a load of man sauce?
Next time I need wheels, you're on. How are you at road wheels?

Do you feel your 3000th was put to good use?
Went for a road ride today. Wheels were flexing when I was cranking up the hill in my crit lap. Can you build me something strong and fast?

Did you at least tip the guy? Need to keep the good guys palms greased to keep getting service like that.....
I went back in with a bottle of Patrone that I am not going to be drinking as I've gone back on the wagon again. They jumped for joy, literally.
that's hot.
Nice.....Thats the way to do it
I guess this is becoming a "barter" economy.
