DAMNIT! The boss just left, I have jack chit to do and I have exhausted all entertaining and/or informative websites.
Anyone have something that I can easily kill 2 hours with?

Im on it!
You could hit your wrist on a truing stand and then, um, do some self-diagnosis to figure out if it's broken or not, a la Arsbars....

Miniclip games blow. Too bad I cant bring my Xbox in to work 
But one of the reasons I dont have one is because they cost almost as much as my bike. (sad I know, but I'm working on it.)

You had to work today?
AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I did a three hour, 12 mile ride with Splat and SloMoJo. Some of the nicest trails I've ridden.

I had a Trek once... a 4900 to be exact... got it for $600 I think...
As for truing stand... yeah a good one is way overpriced. I usually duct tape 2 pencils to my fork legs or seat stays and that is my truing stand. Been doing that for at least 4 years

Hrmmm pencils, sounds technical. Maybe I'll just get a stand.
Thats not a bad idea. I'll have to try it.
Pencils.
True true..
People with really slack spokes will loose some even when they are re tightened..
Worst case i seen was a rear wheel laced 3x you could actually flex the spoke a good inch whitout any effort..
Poor bike was flexing like it's spine been broken..
"It feels unstable" was the reason for it to be brought before me..
Well.. if you have mavic rims you'll need a tool.. It's not cheap.. Your lbs probably has one if they deal with the more exotic parts out there..

I have mavic rims but that little holder cup thingy (techincal term) was kind loose and I could unscrew it with my hand.
My rear rim was like that 2 weeks ago before I had it true'd and now the spoke broke.
Sweet... make sure you tape them on real sturdy like, so they dont move about... other than that it makes a pretty good basic truing stand.
