Ok so thank you to mr arkane who gave me a spoke key I think I made the wheel more straight
I use the term “more straight” as it’s definitely not “true” but maybe good enough till it explodes from my shoddy tensioning??
there is still this weird squeak, and things mentioned above, but it’s rideable
You can’t really hear the squeak of the cars so I’m not sure why I’m concerned
Added an extra spacer under the stem, spot on now, really chill
How do people just have silent bikes forever, I will never know, you ride it for like 30 feet and something else crops up?
Maybe I can get a clip on speaker and drown out the thoughts of a noisy bike with awful pc music
Good enough to ride to the skate shop on the weekend at least, needs a little rear rack and fair weather skate rack for full “ crusty sam fran riv owner and poser ” vibes
The smaller pomp is gone, went to a good home so that’s re-assuring
