Well, have not taken my blue belle to the lbs shop yet, next week likely, but think she needs more than tires and tubes. When she came down off the hooks for closer inspection I think she needs new wheels too. Initially, I thought the brake pads were hitting wrong and needed an adjustment. But, I think the wheel rims are bent. When I suspend the tire, and give it a spin, it periodly rubs. I think if it was just the brake pads, it would rub the entire revolution of the wheel. It hits and misses. Thinking that means damage. Drats. Will just have to see what the lbs has to say soon.
