Myk Murphy:
now that i've glanced at today's archives, i see that decoy's question may have something to do with straightening a wheel.

you're more likely to get richard simmons straight than most bike wheels, i think. spring for a decent (although not fancy) new replacement wheel. if the tube and tire are still good, put 'em on. i just hope you haven't damaged the fork end (if it's the front) or the rear derailleur (if it's the rear wheel).

New wheel, eh, Myk? Its only a $300 dollar bike. I saw how to do it in "Breaking Away." But then again, I've read several places that its an art and not something to fuck with if you don't know what you're doing. Can I just get the same rim re-laced? OR, I would expect to pay around $35 for a new wheel for a bike like that?

Did any one notice that the second song on that new Warren Zevon disc has the tune to Swing Low, Sweet Chariot? I think.

My friend was going to drive in to town on Thursday for an art opening in Soho and then we were going to drive to Boston together Friday morning, I don't know if we should, oh well. I'll see.

Decoy:
The weather should miss Boston completely. But you never know for sure.

Oh yeah? New York 1 is saying that its only going to be rainy and windy on Thursday. I don't know, we'll see. I really wanted to get out of here for the weekend.

Chewing Wax:
It's headed straight for Buffalo according to all the models. But by then, it will only be rain. Sweet summer rain.

That's all poor NYC needs is to be hit by a hurricane.
(Tue Sep 16, 2003 - 9:49:13 am)

bela:
They're saying it hitting NYC is very unlikely. Yeah really thats all this friggin place needs is more disaster. No trains again. Wonderful walking home in a hurricane.

Yes, except for Portland. Where all misfortune is centered. Thankfully.

Heruka:
how badly is the wheel bent decoy? if it's only a little beny, then it may be cappable of being adjusted through using the spokes. but go to kmart and buy a new rim.
(Tue Sep 16, 2003 - 10:32:22 am)

bela:
You can''t unbend a bike frame and you can't unbend a wheel. God, just spring for another tire.
(Tue Sep 16, 2003 - 10:33:57 am)

Heruka:
sure you can.
(Tue Sep 16, 2003 - 10:35:30 am)
