Annoyed, one job. . .

So, I have just put a new rim on my shimano dura ace 7700 wheel. Laced it all up properly and even managed to put thoes wee plastic washers between the flat spokes. Now, I'm not the greatest at turning up wheels so I dropped it of at the bike shop. . . . .I picked the wheel up today but did not check it over until I got home. ( silly me ) One job, just one job. . . .! When tightening flat spoke you use a flat spoke tool to keep them from twisting when trueing. . . . You guessed it, they did not, all the spokes are twisted and to top that they have lost two of the washers. I'm so annoyed, just one job. Managed to find the washers on Amazon ( y4a098070) but they have none in stock. So annoyed, I'll have to try and sort the wheel myself. Anyone got these washers ?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
