The wheel itself came with my $50 bike. I rebuilt it myself once before. I can get a new wheel that's just as good for about $35, or a used one that was rebuilt by hand for about the same. It's not like it's a $100 rim or anything. I already threw on the wheel from the bike I parted out a few months ago. Steel rim, so the braking is gonna suck, but it's on the back, so not THAT big a deal. I'll look around and see what I can find, but I'll probably drop by my favorite bike shop in a couple weeks and pick one up.

As far as reporting it, it's not like the city doesn't know about the potholes... they've got crews out working full time filling them up! We have literally HUNDREDS of potholes, due to the weather we've had the past month and a half or so. *crinkles his nose*
