So I've got maybe 30 hours of riding time on my brand new wheelset. I brought the bike in to be tuned in the shop after about hour #10 and had the wheels snugged up and re-tight-ified.
Ever since, I've been checking my spokes after each ride. I've managed to get small wobbles out and re-tightening any loose ones to try and maintain them.
After yesterday's ride, I did the same but noticed a dent and a wobble in my rear rim. I managed to get the wobble out (more or less) but now I've noticed a "hop" in the rim right where the dent is. It's only about a 1/4 inch.
Now, because the conditions have been pretty slippy, I've been running my tire pressure low, probably too low, hence the dent.
So, 2 questions:
Can one get a "hop" out of a wheel?
If one can't get the hop out, I guess I'll be getting a new rim eventually. Would getting a 36 spoke wheel be a worthwhile upgrade?
I plan to keep my rear tire a littler firmer from now on and ease off on the compression damping a little to offset and maintain that uber-plush feel I love so...
Thanks.
