go buy a proper spoke wrench. your going to have to tru your wheels a lot. you ride trials. a fixing a broken spoke is no harder than truing your wheel. my wheels are not exactly round but i keep them pretty close.
to answer your question: full cycle because al works there and i owe him for helping me build up my bike at full cycle. university bikes is a cool place too, i think their service might be a tad more expensive though. i have 3 friends who work there as shop bitches. probably any shop can replace a spoke and tru your wheel well though :greddy:.

this makes it all the more amusing you would take your wheel to be trued at a bike shop and that you dont have a spoke wrench :hs:. sorry to be a dick im just hatin cause i cant afford bike shop maintenance. some day we'll ride and you can make fun of me for how much i suck because i never ride and put me and my bent wheels in there place.

veccio's is a shit shop. the guys there are almost always dicks, and that's to other rodies. i can't even imagine what they would act like to a trials guy. however, i think you brought your bike to me anyway (full cycle?) im going to do it first thing in the morning

Dont go to bicycle village, took my bike in to have a wheel trued, the fucking idiot spent 30 min starring at the wheel and fucking with my brake and gear setup, then gave me back the bike and said he couldnt fix the bends in the rim.....fucking idiots.

the fix is first priority. full cycle on the hill usually pretty good, shawnee knows what he's doing there. u-bikes for general bike needs serves a good purpose.
i threw down for a stand like 4 years ago, one of the best investments ever.

The guys there were always nice to me and I had plenty of wheels built there. I also never had to true a wheel built by them.
They even let me go in the back and dig through their spare parts bin and take some cassette rings/spacers.

i heard vecchio's went away from the original (better) owner when he got hit by a car road riding on hw93, fucked him up pretty bad and the family sold the shop to help pay for medical expenses. since that happened i've heard a lot less good things about the shop. dunno if that's true, just what i've heard.
