every shop gives a different reason... i think i'm just going to give up and buy a new wheel online!
No way dude, that's ridiculous. Have they ever heard of trying Liquid Wrench before pronouncing these things? Freeing seized parts is annoying but not impossible.
You must have some seriously incompetent shops. Besides, I don't think a 1-2 mm hop is a enough to warrant throwing out a wheel... but if you do, do you have any plans for that XT hub?
