If you don't have a rim how do you know you need 280's?
Oh...Deep Vee....never mind
Haha, yeah... I've at least got all the components to build one wheel which is good enough for the workshop I'm taking on Wednesday but I'll need to get that other wheel built in the next two weeks as well...

Here's why I'm a total idiot: I bought a rim off craigslist a couple of months ago to build with - the guy was selling it because he bought it thinking he needed a 36 but really needed a 32. No problem, right? I've got a 36h hub at home, right? Wrong... So now I've got this 36h rim I've got to get rid of and I've got to grab a 32.

What's worse is not only that I bought it from a guy who did the same thing but I've done it before, as you'll well remember, Keith.

God, some days I just wish that my brain worked the way it once did - I think I get dumber as the days go by.

Flimflam - yep, I figured it was you and for a second I forgot it was St. Patties and I was like "uhhhhh, why's he wearing that hat?!?!?!" Then I remembered and all in the universe was as it should be.
