Thanx My wife is walking the wheel to the LBS as I write this. The shop charges only $4.00. As my
wife was leaving she said...at this rate we are going to put another one of his kids through
College....a reference to a xmas card we got 2 years ago from the owner of my LBS who said my trips
to his shop paid for one of his kids to complete College. Another LBS I called said I'd have to
leave the wheel overnite due to all the REAL bikes they had to work on...the mechanics told me they
consider bents to be recreational toys (I try and avoid that LBS). I will buy some bike tools and a
book, it just seemed easier to let other people do stuff for me.
