I will look at it as a learning experience but I would like to try fixing it myself, I'm usually pretty competent with detailed stuff. My mind was just too distracted when I picked up the bike. I got news of the death of a young family member in a car wreck when I was just a few minuets from getting to the bike.
If you have a favorite youtube video of how to true the rim I would love a link. Otherwise I'll start searching as soon as I can.
Will it hurt anything to ride it as it is? I can easily tell it just lifting and spinning it. I must have been in a daze when I test rode it. I rode it all over a couple hills this afternoon and it does 10 times better than my old bike even with the warped rim.
