For the second day in the row, showers moved through our area just as I was getting up and ready for work. Yesterday I rode through the rain, but today decided to drive -- mainly because I had an errand to run. I ordered a new rear wheel for one of my bikes the weekend before last, and when I inspected it after it arrived, it had a substantial dent in the rim. Not good, particularly for a brand new wheel. So I had to forsake riding one day so I can take the wheel by a UPS store to ship back to the bike parts company. I'm kind of ticked because not only am I missing a commute, but it will probably take 1-2 weeks before I get the replacement wheel. I am curious about the company's quality control because the wheel actually had an inspection tag hanging from it, and the dent is very obvious.
