Interestingly enough, both wheels seem fine. The front was a little out of true after I T-boned the bulldog with it. The spoke tension isn't perfectly uniform now that it's trued up again, but who is to say that it ever was perfectly uniform? It's one of those indestructible non-eyeleted Araya rims.
The replacement singlespeed I just built up had its own rims, so the ones from the wreck are spares for now. For some reason they worry me less than the stem and handlebars, though.
