Could not believe my luck when I was riding home the other day - all of a
sudden back brake was sticking and my wheel was totally warped
Walked the bike home and found that a nipple had broken just below where you
put the screwdriver (yeah I know - very technical). Anyway, that cancelled
out my weekend of a 2 day 200km ride and I took it on the back of the car to
LBS to be told it must have been a faulty ???? nipple. They trued the wheel
up and it is great again. Question is - do I trust the rest now? Bike has
only done 2000kms, Trek 7500 new in December and I am about to do a long
distance ride. This "true the wheel up" business is way beyond my
capabilities. Is this a common thing? How do I know the others wont break?
