Okay, I might have fixed it....sort of. I tinkered and when the wheel scrubbed the left side brake pad, I either loosened the left spoke nearest or tightened the right spoke nearest. When the right side scrubbed, I did the opposite. After about 30 minutes, It's nearly completely straight. No pinging when I took it down the street. Am I safe to ride tomorrow, or could something catestrophic happen?

Sorry for the stupid questions. I'm trying to learn and just don't want to screw my new bike up in the process. I almost think I should get a clunker bike to practice on.
