Today while looking at my bikes and deciding which to try new pedals on I found that the the rear wheel on the Rockhopper Disc has a broken nipple, causing one of the spokes to be loose. I guess this means that I’ll be trying the pedals (more on these later once I have an opinion on them) on the Bianchi D.I.S.S. and taking the wheel in tomorrow.
While I normally like doing bike work myself, not having a truing stand, spare spokes, or spare nipples means that I can either take it in and pay $20 (or so) to get it fixed for riding this week, or spend 2x that (or so) and a tens hours of time (plus waiting for deliveries) and do it myself. I do wholly intend to be building bike wheels by the end of this summer, I want my bike up and working properly ASAP.
