Thanx very much for the input everyone. I must admit, I did have these wheels built at a shop that was only in their 1st run as a seasonal bike shop. it opened at the begining of the spring and closed in august. i do plan on taking it to a shop i got to pretty regularly with questions and what-nots tomorrow to have it re-trued and hopefully pick up some helpful tips! i tried re-truing them myself...but i think i just made it worse! i dont have the grace yet i guess. thanx again!
