Busted wheel, again

[bvibert]

I love working on stuff like this. Add to it that I'm poor (and cheap) and that the bike shop typically has a two week turn around time for repairs and I don't really have much choice but to do it myself. The true test will be to swap rims.

Question for those who know; is it alright to reuse the spokes or should I just get all new ones?

I went out at lunch and worked on the wheel. I got it pretty good, but I still have a bit of work to do. I added a whole new level of insanity to the mix though.... I clamped a dial indicator onto the chain stay instead of using the brake pads as trueness indicators...

When you get into something, you go all out!

Brian, you should make a post on CF in the "Wanted" area and see if any of them have a rear wheel for you.

I got the old wheel looking pretty good tonight. I couldn't seem to get it dished just right and it's a little out of round, but hopefully it'll work out alright for now.
