Thanks for the welcome and all the feedback. I meant to post this weekend, but between riding, a bachelor party, and a bunch of other junk I just didn’t have time.
As far as the wheel goes, I had a friend look at it to tell me if it was that bad. It wasn’t, its just warped a little. It looks like it’s wobbling when I ride but most people can’t even notice. Maybe its just my @nal tendencies toward everything I own.
Ugrading the rims is one thing that will be in the books shortly. I had the foresight to buy a bike that already has disc brakes on it so no upgrade needed there. First, I’m getting together all the basic riding equipment a little at a time. A friend and I went to some local trails on Saturday only to have the ride cut short 2 hours in by him getting a flat. So we pushed the bikes back to the trucks and headed to the LBS. His snaffu promted me to buy a mini pump and spare tube. Sometime this week or next I will purchase a mini tool and some riding gloves.
