I just read thru this thread: Should I just throw away my &*$% bike?

Lots of great info. On that thread one thing that comes to mind, is I do tend to throw my bike back and forth mashing up the hills. Doing that with the trailer and kids is probably putting tremendous lateral stress on the rear wheel. From the info on these threads, I think I will buy all of the parts (Deep-Vs, and 14G DT spokes) and have it built locally.

Thanks again, great info!
