There's a tool for centering your rear wheel? o.0

You didn't look very far. Try the Planet Bike Speed EZ clip-ons. I can fit them over 700x35c studded Hakkapeliittas in winter. And you can just pop them off when the weather doesn't suck, too.

thanks for all the feedback guys.

got my steamroller on Monday and absolutely love it.

just need to find a ratio that will allow me to attack hills and give me a fun, fast ride.
