Unipack / Create / Sports Direct singlespeed track bikes?

I have also been told by a mechanic in a certain branch of Cycle Surgery that once you ding one of the wheels that's it, there's nothing they can do with them!

Yo I gotta disagree!
I had a s-kink on my rear last week so I re tensioned/trued the wheel and it was all sorted! it was a propa kinkding too.
I agree with the wheel steal part tho. Most people who comment on the bike always zero in on the wheels. I even had a 'Bob Jackson' owner pull up aside me in flow and ask "Oooo are those Hope hubs?"
I was so bashful that i couldnt reply and just giggled as he rided past.
Next time i see him im gona hug him.
