I did not notice that my wheel was horribly out of true until I washed it, so I checked right away to make sure it was in the dropouts correctly. The wheel is definetly out of true, BIG TIME. It took me quite a while to get in back in and adjust the brakes so that the wheel wouldn't rub. I would have gotten the problem taken care of, but I had a race that night. I do not know how to true a wheel, is there much to it? If all of these problems lava is talking about are true, do you think it was just a clinker bike he got? If it truly is all low end bontrager components are ****, do you think I would be better off trying to sell my 1.5 and buy another new bike with better components? As I said earlier, I have had my 1.5 for 2 months now. What would the resale value be? The bike has no imperfections in appearance except a couple small scratches on my brake lever, and works fine except the rear wheel. The bike originally is $1039.99. I love my bike, would it be worthwhile to get a new groupset and wheels or would that be more expensive than just buying an entirely new bike? Would the resale value of my components nearly compensate for the cost of a new groupset?
