good job

Agreed. Turned out well.

My only question is i just spaced the entire wheel over so i can have a good chain alignment. It works but the tire is close to the driveside chainstay. Can i just leave it or will i eventually have to re-dish ?

Oh yea 52/16 in an area with no hills at all is pretty fun. I can slow up easily and crank it and get to a pretty good clip.

you should redish it.

Assuming i take the risk since i suck at truing wheels, i'd be aiming to get the tire as centered as possible correct ?

Bingo. If you don't want to risk it, a shop can probably do it for $20 or so. Maybe more.

Got.. maybe once it gets cold for now im gonna enjoy this thing.

centered in relation to the frame (freewheel hub with spacers moved around so i am assuming its not evenly spaced).
