Riding a Giant Defy 3 and replaced the wheels around three months ago - WCS Ritchey Protocols and some Michelin Pro 3 tyres to go.
A few weeks ago had a spoke go and the rear wheel must have gone over a pothole and it ended up buckled. The LBS did a pretty good job but couldn't get it perfect so is it worth trying elsewhere, or should I accept that it won't be true again and start looking elsehwhere. The LBS said it was more than passable, but, me being me, I'm wondering what loss in performance there would be?
Would you change both wheels if you had the cash, or just the rear? Or would you accept that most of the time a wheel is not perfectly true but will do nevertheless?
I know only I can answer this but it has really put a downer on my riding recently, wondering whether I should invest in a new set of wheels when the next job was a 2nd hand groupset!!! If it's rideable should I roll with it and accept them as not perfect or what?
Any ideas?
