Yes. If you weren't a dodger, you would have answered them at the time.

Or we could just wait. Next time it comes up, next time he posts the
questions, you'll quietly slip away without answering, just like you did
every other time.

4700's a limit- nashbar has a sale on double walls at half price.
to understand whatbthe lbs is doing you really need to be able to and
have on hands experience with this wheel before giving it to the LBS.
you cannot expect the LBS to give you $130 of labor for $35 work on a
wheel that needs replacing for $50. what happens more or less is that
the LBS: 1) figures you understand the situation, 2) ura gonna
understand eventually, or 3) ura dumb. The LBS is not usually in the
habit of customer nuerotic stress analysis or therapy unless the wheel
is worth more than $200 or they're bored.
the spokes inside hooks are a give away-is that area worn or
burnished? is the hub hole elongated and burredwith sharp edges?
ya gotta take it apart!
and do it yourself.
the idea that ura gonna run into a wheel magician at the LBS is
somewhat farfetched.
if you give a bent rim to the guy he's gonna wind those spokes tight
and then snap.

Dear David,

We are waiting--for you to tell us what you're chattering
about.
