(281) Ready to Roll

As I'm off the bike just now I took the back wheel from my Creo to my local bike shop to have a slow air loss investigated. The cause was probably an issue with the rim tape but when I put the wheel on the shop counter I noticed a small imperfection in the carbon fibre rim. Four weeks later I have my wheel back with a new rim, replaced by Specialized without question and at no cost, and rebuilt by the bike shop, all without charge. This is why I like to 'shop local' whenever possible and support independent businesses who, in my experience, go the extra mile to give good service. I've not been on a bike for about six weeks now, but it feels much more like six months. I'm very tempted to go try the new wheel out tomorrow.
