    I'm very happy. I got my parts in today for my wheel rebuild. I broke
    my uni at the 24 race back in May, and have been hurting inside ever
    since. I bought the cromo extra wide hub, 36 new stainless steel
    spokes, and a brand new Coker tire. North Rider (my favorite bike
    shop), is going to build my wheel this Friday.

    I've been riding my KH24 since then, which is fun in it's own
    rights....but I was really starting to dig munis with the Coker, and I
    miss the speed. This weekend, I ride the big wheel again. Woop! woop!
    woop!

    Ride on brothers and sisters.
    Tim.

    I don't know if I really want to locktite just one spoke, maybe i
    should make sure the wheel is REALLy true before I locktite it then
    just locktite all the spokes... but then what happens if i need to
    change the spokes for some reason......

    It's alright...just use the blue loctite and you can still adjust the
    spokes at will...it just provides some resistance so they don't loosen
    at will.

    oh, ok.... I think we have some of that at the house, I'm still going
    to make sure my wheel is true before I do it though....

    don't loctite your spokes

    it's coming loose for a reason I'm sure, have them replace it
