I'm going to get the rear wheel looked at to see if the hub is salvageable. If it's not, I'll upgrade with something nice, any suggestions?
I'm going to re-build the front wheel myself because I already took it apart and some of the spokes were screwed anyway. I just need to find a truing stand.
a quality trying stand is a serious investment. the cost of a new set of wheels in your budget or more. But if you think it’s a worthwhile investment, there’s nothing wrong with that. The problem is that you likely find you don’t use it often enough to be worth the total investment. Because if your rims are going out of true that quickly, there are other problems that need to be addressed. Your money though. A dura ace 7600 is always a nice investment for a hub. There are plenty of cheaper quality options though. Good luck.
