Wheels etc...

Well, I got a chance to do some work on the bike this morning.&nbsp\\; I took my new chrome rim for the front and mounted it with the chrome rotor it came with.&nbsp\\; Once I had the caliper back on it was acting erratic.&nbsp\\; I was jsut rolling the bike around testing the brakes to make sure they were working, and guess what?&nbsp\\; Not so good.&nbsp\\; I spund the wheel and discovered a bent rotor. &nbsp\\;[:@]&nbsp\\; Off came the wheel, rotor was swapped with the rotor off my old wheel (exactly the same except not bent or brand new)&nbsp\\; and the wheel was put back on.&nbsp\\; This time everything works as it should and I have sent an email off to the seller of the wheels to see if he is gonna make this right for me.&nbsp\\; I might wait on putting the back wheel on until I know if I am going to get another rotor as I want to put it on the back wheel.&nbsp\\; Maybe I'll just get a wild hair and do it anyway.&nbsp\\; HEre are a few pics of the front wheel with the whitewall.&nbsp\\; I think the whitewall looks killer...

Dude I have the exact same jack and I can't get the damn thing under my bike. I gotta take the wheels off the jack to even get it close and then lift the bike a little and kick it under.
