There's nothing more frustrating that trying to figure out a problem like that

When you start with all the spokes loose, do you try to get rid of the hump first thing, or later, after it's true with some tension?

Glad you're ok man. This morning dude getting dropped off (in traffic lane) did his best to door me but he left just enough room to squeeze through. HA

I really need to clean my bike. I meant to clean it before RAGBRAI, I didn't, rode RAGBRAI, put CX tires on, rode dirt/mud, still haven't cleaned it (I cleaned my chain and gears, but nothing else.)

Put on new pedals with straps and had a fixed gear installed for very cheap. First time riding fixed, I like it. Besides trying to coast and getting slung forward, fun!

I know a guy who is an excellent builder and he waits until near the very end. He's says, "that way I don't have to keep messing with them over and over." And he gets rid of them every time. I don't know how, but he does.

I did my lunch ride today on the fixed gear (42/18t), channeling my inner Mikey. I've been neglecting this thing big time since I start riding with the powertap a year ago. It's a nice, different feel - I dig it.
I like how the fixed gear (relative to SS) really makes you feel the features of the road more. Minute changes in direction (orientation WRT wind), gradient, road surface and momentum are really amplified.
