It is a 2003 Fuji I stored in the house (dormant) until realizing I needed to get my fat butt on my bike and commute. I have put more miles these last three weeks than I ever did these last two years. Another suggestion my bike tech suggested was taking the spoke and moving it over so that it crosses 3 or 4 spokes. That way, I keep my 32 spoke setup, just have to deal with a single-wall rim. This is not the solution he recommended. I think a wheel replacement is in my future.

Thanks.
