with around 11k on the clock, I noticed some spoke loose on the rear wheel. no big, 30m or so sitting the ground with the spoke wrench took care of that.. so I thought.

last night I found a broken spoke.. plus a few loose again.
Thus begins my journey to get this fixed.
The triumph deal with whom I bought the bike ships the rims out to be fixed...to LA of all places.
Three shops and a good deal of time later I drop off the rear wheel @ Zoom Cycles who still ships it off but to some local feller. est time. 1 week.

*cry*

but while its down, i'm pulling the fork stems out and letting Phil @ Aftershocks work his magic on them.

I don't know if you've seen photos of the wheels painted black; they look good. I hope I have no spoke woes, but if I do, I might take the opportunity to blacken the wheels.
