Yes, although i did true one of my wheels recently by tightening one spoke. That's magic!

carelesschucca · 27-04-16, 08:54 PM

I'm hoping that putting a nice new spoke in and getting the tension right, it up will see the wheel straight...

I know that when I do look at getting wheels I'll go along and see him and ask what he can do...

Yep, it'll probably do the job. He'll probably go round the whole wheel and tension all the spokes properly. Its probably a machine built wheel, never quite as good as a good hand built wheel, unless you're spending lots of money

Now N= -2

You must feel nekid!!!

How was the ride today?

maviczap · 28-04-16, 03:23 PM

Yes, but more space in the garage

I just need to sell one more frame for the funds for the next frame.

Despite being underdressed for the chill wind, i had a good ride, nice pace, didn't go into the red zone and legs felt pretty good.

I'm desparate to get out, but stupidly I forgot to measure the length of the spoke before I went to evans today.

The weather is now taking a turn for the worse and its snowing here and to get worse..

Doh!

Weather here is scandalous! Haven't been out since Sunday, feels weird!

I really need to buy some clothing/kit rather than spending all my money on bikes and bits to staple onto said bikes...

Weather is changing here... managed to get a short soaking in the hills yesterday. Fine and sunny tomorrow... pity I won't be on the bike... and more rain next week.
Need to find my jacket and rear fender. The Jacket is from Adidas - it remains to be seen how dry I'll be in that... The fender is just an SKS S-Blade that straps onto the seat post, but it makes a huge difference in the sort of not too bad weather we get.
