before i left the office yesterday I noticed another broken spoke on my back wheel. T aped it up and checked TRUEness. It was fine. I made it home and the wheel did fall a little out-of-true during the ride. The LBS who did the last spoke said I might need a different wheel and tried to blame me for not checking my spokes regularly. I'm sorry but i rode, no lived, on my schwinn 10-speed as a kid for YEARS - never checked my spokes and never broke one. OOOhhh so happy I have new technology and new materials -they're SSSOOOooo much better. FAIL!

Stopped by the shop and they didn't even get to it! AGH! It was 425 last time and promises to be the same this time - he MIGHT get to it Monday. MONDAY! AGH!

Gonna ride my steel Schwinn tomorrow. Steel wheels and I guess steel spokes. Gonna put put my new saddle on it and freakin' FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
