Maybe that was my mistake, I took it to the American Shop on base.
I will not do that again. I will spend the extra money (dollar->euro conversion.... ouch) and go off base next time.
for the Treks Wheel, I just wanted to spokes, I was getting a spoke tensioner and all that and wanted a shot at rebuilding the wheel, myself.
They wouldn't sell me the spokes... said they have to install and tune it. so I said fine, have at it.
I get it back and its not even close to tuned....
one spoke is tightend all the way, the other is barely threaded in at all
-_-
grrr.
I have no luck at biking components and service.
Ok, I'm off to work now, Y'all have fun!
