A couple of truings on a bike in the first few hundred miles isn't that big of a deal unless the wheel never settles.
I guess the problem I have is that the bike I replaced the Jake with exhibited none of the squishy feeling I'm having with the rear tire. That bike was a 10 yr old mtb w/ a set of 1.25 panaracers that never had any work done to the wheels but they remained true through a lot of cr*p & neglect. I'll see how it goes over the next few days and then make a decision.
