Oh, and I normally do build my own wheels -which may be why this bugs me more than I rationally know it should. But a couple things have conspired to get me to hire someone else. The biggest is that because we are trying to sell our place, my wheel building tools (along with a lot of other stuff) are packed away in storage to help "de-clutter" our home. Also, I know how dead a shop can be in January, so I thought it was the good-guy thing to do by sending a little business their way.
