Thanks for the encouragement, LPH! Today has been a miserable drizzly raw day here in the Mid-Atlantic, so I took advantage of my indoor time to work on some new mountain bike wheels this afternoon. So far, the rear one is completely done- laced, trued, and tensioned. It's sooooo nice compared to my old one! Can't wait to ride it! After some dinner and a beer, I plan to lace up the front one
