it was saturday on my way to work i twanged a spoke on a fast downhill.
since it was on the drive side i had to take it to free range cycles (in
seattle/fremont). (i thanked them in a post here.) they replaced the spoke
and trued it for $10 us. the guy who trued the wheel was the one who showed
me the dent in the rim. this wasn't the first time they are trying to get me
to buy something new that i may not need, and i have had "tune ups" before
where they did very little and dont even adjust the dr's. i totally intend
to learn myself and this ng is a lot of help in that dept. thanks! hope i
can help others soon.
