good call, and a wise suggestion in the grand old eBay... $70CAD for the SLs... bingo.

Keith, do you have any strong road rims hanging around? I'm thinking of getting my rear roadie wheel rebuilt with a new rim (as I figure it's just old and tired) but would like to keep the cassette/drivetrain stuff as-is. If so, I can drop the stuff off tomorrow for you... If not, I might go get just one Open Pro for this, as I need this bike back on the road - my MTB is crushing me.

I need to get an opinion on my roadie, I have a semi-occasional knocking in my crank (feels like it's in the BB itself) at certain crank positions when putting power down - and I have a brake-wobble in the front, which I suspect is the headset in need of a repack - I don't know anything/enough about this stuff to know wtf - any ideas? or should I just bring 'er in? I can leave it at the shop for a looksee tomorrow.
