and i did true my front wheel. it was more out of line when i first started it than it is now. it's almost perfect somehow. of course i really really messed it up when i was learning, but after figuring out that they basically all need to be the same tightness all around, it's rather easy. i mean it went so far that the rim hit the brake pad and wouldn't move. by some miracle i got them all in like the center of the brake hubs now. don't ask me how but i am just relieved i didn't break anything and have to take it back. and who is the username "The_Mennonite". it looks like someone just created it to quote what i said how mennonites were raised. i really wished i had done that bike race it's haunting me.
