Not surprising to hear you found things that weren't right, though so far I've ebeen fortunate on the spokes. You'll love the improvement in the fork function. When the TT gets here, it's the first thing I'm doing. I already have the Bel Ray 10W ready to go.
If you can't ride it, MOD IT! :-)...that's what I always say!
