I got in a morning ride on my mountain bike on the road, putting in 20 miles. Spent the afternoon wrenching on bikes. I pimped out my singlespeed with some new yellow brake cables to match the yellow frame paint job. I replaced the middle chainring on my buddy's bike. Tried to true his real wheel by replacing and adjusting the spokes and only made things worse. After I got through with the wheel, it was tacoed. The picture is an example of wrenching gone wild. Truing wheels is best left up to the "real" mechanics, especially when you don't have the proper equipment. I hope they can fix it.
