Alas poor Mountain Rex, I knew him well...

No more riding MR until his wheels are trued.  I didn't realise how bad they were until I set my bike up on the stand in the living room and got it under an overhead light.  Wow!  No wonder I can't get the brakes properly lined.  So, now the task at hand is to take off both wheels and take them to Athens Bike Shop and have them trued.  Hopefully, it won't cost a fortune.

When I was reading the customer reviews for this bike, there was a guy there who said he had to have the wheels trued when he got his.  A bunch of others didn't.  Another guy had to completely replace the breaking system. 

All of this leads me to say, Mongoose, even though this is your extremely low end, dirt cheap, bike - you guys could at least send the wheels trued.

Off to begin the first stage of editing my nanowrimo.
