Since I 'coated the Excel, it wasn't returnable. It didn't pose any danger and I wanted to ride, so I settled w/what I got. Bad thig is...I can spy down beside the tire and the fork and see the wobble in the tire (from the dip in the rim). Can't feel it on the highway so it all seems to be good. Pic...

Hey all, from Texas...

I'm another victim from the other site. I didn't realize I was breaking the law (and stepping on toes-or whatever else) 'till I took a close look at the rules. My machine is not in running condition, so I politely stepped away and came over to the wilder side. I can't believe how crazy and obnoxious...
