Still i dont want wheel rubbing because i am getting this rubbing vibration from the brakes to my seat post to my seat, and it is really annoying and i know that it is slowing my down just that little bit.

So i have two options. I either leave it, and get my LBS to adjust the brakes so it wont rub, but braking power wont be as good.
Or get the wheel trued for $27.50?

what does everybody think?
