Truing my own wheels
After having my last bike stolen out of the back of my truck one day, I promptly bought me a replacement for the same price as the hot bike (all of $30), and it's a nicer bike. However, it uses linear pull brakes, which seem to be more succeptable to bent rims. The rims on this bike are not bad, but do interfere with the brakes, making the bike stiff when I adjust the brakes in, or a correct ride with the brakes just bottoming when they make contact. What is the best way to make the minor tweaks to my rim to get it arrow straight, or at least to where the brakes can be used like I like them--within tight tolerances?
