Yup, I'm still lusting after those Surlys; someday, when I live in an area where theft risk isn't as crazy high as where I live now.

Well that was anticlimactic. Only a 75 minute ride covering at best 10 miles on mostly flats to run errands -- so an additional 15 lbs or so in rear panniers was accrued along the way -- and no...

Yup, I got one of the many red+black $20USD knock-offs, which I'm sure was made in the same factory as all the other knock-offs. I've bought plenty of other Park Tools stuff, so I like to think I've...

Thanks, wvridgerider, sounds like we're of similar build and history.
I made my first attempt at tensioning and truing the (about to be replaced) wheel yesterday after replacing a couple spokes. ...

Just the most minor OP update: Stay True Cycles didn't get back to me after a week and a half. Not surprised, they left me hanging once before on a request for info. I'm not in the habit of...

Just ordered a cheap-o wheel stand and tension meter on Amazon (will save the Park tools versions for a future attempt). Might as well give it a whirl, especially now that I'm getting back into...

"Prosperous", lol, that's a new one - I'm going to use it in my dating profile.

I forgot to mention the guy thought clydesdale was a brand when I asked him if he could build clydesdale wheels. I figured even a never-been-over-8%-bodyfat shop guy would have spent enough time...
