Frustrated with Front Wheel Hop; can’t find a shop willing to touch it

Otherwise, do as suggested above and take just the rim in and say its for a Honda if they ask.

I don't get the mentality of turning a bike away. Work is work.

Dan...the one guy’s tone on the phone was like it was “beneath” him to touch the bike.

I tried loosening them all and started from the beginning so to speak. I’m wondering if a major problem is that the tire is still mounted? I don’t currently have spoons to remove the tire, but maybe that is the next step. Would that be part of the problem the rim won’t budge?
