35 miles this morning. The last 18 with my rear wheel out of true and rubbing the brake. I thought I was just tired until I got home. Another nipple without Loctite on it. K's don't like that. Mental note: Do not try to true a wheel after you pulled an all nighter at work and you want to go for a ride. You're just not thinking right. Then do not opt for convenience and take it to a shop closer than your regular one. When you do take it to your regular shop because 100 miles later a spoke comes flying off at 30mph, ask them to break it down and rebuild it. Who knows how many more nipples are going to spin out?
BTW - I learned about the Loctite thing at the regular place I go, I didn't know that myself.
