Finally riding a big boys bike
Well, I spent some time learning to lace up the rear wheel last night and was happy to figure out that I was able to do it correctly! The only problem(s) is that even though the spokes I got are the exact same length as the originals, they seemed to be too long. I was able to tighten them down properly, but the threaded ends now protrude up into where the tube goes. Is this okay? I don't imagine the original rubber nipple band will be able to adequately cover those protrusions.
Lastly, the rim was a little bent when I got the bike. I'm not using a truing stand, but I want to ask you all if this looks true enough?? Just for a daily rider?
Thanks guys and gals...
