lol well, actually no a stem will do right now. I have to buy a few replacement spokes for my front wheel. No wonder i had such a hard time building it, and no matter what i did it would never be true. ANd i got flats, well ICYCLES cut some of hte spokes 5-7mm too LONG! So yea, and im buying spoke prep this time to go along with it. and jobst brandts book. THen hopefully if i sell enough on ebay i will have enough for the stem
