Of course, remember: if it's still within the 90 day warranty of your bike, get thee down to the LBS where you bought it.

Unless you had an accident, if a wheel needs truing before 90 days are up, better take advantage of that parts guarantee to see if something needs replacing.

Definitely going to sign up for the tutorials! Free stuff I can use - there's a concept I can live with!

Garrybuck - I haven't seen anyone use the word "scordatura" since I was in college - and that was more years ago than I care to admit - dare I hope that you is a classical music lover?

I've been outed. Yeah, I'm a classical music fan. My Zune is loaded with opera, baroque and Elizabethan lute music. Aside from the occasional foray into 'world music' it's pretty much all I listen to.

In my dream life I would be to be sort of like a Dead Head, only I'd be a Renee Fleming Head, and between concerts I'd ride around in my fleet of velomobiles.

Obviously never heard a Saltarello...

Speaking of music, if you want to raise your pain threshold to a crazy high level, try exercising to Scottish bagpipe music.

Yeah, that stuff'll really skirl your hair, and it won't true my front wheel, either.
