We took her bike in. All the spokes were tight, radial runout was within HD specs, but only just. They got it trued better, though. What they did find, however, was a defective tire. New one is on order.

Ted don't you think this is a little dramatic. I don't think any of those said wheels are on the newer bikes and I have never heard or seen any problems with the lace wheels. I think if it was a real problem on the newer bikes they wouldn't keep usuing them.
