And yes I can feel the second thump when I ride -- I feel it in the handlebars, it comes right up the forks. Could not feel the first little thump.
I told Jay it feels like metal being released from pressure.

Peg,
I feel your pain. I too am waiting for fed ex. No problem with my wheel, just the wrong size. Hopefully next week it will show itself. It sucks when **** like your situation happens but better to work with a reputable company to get the bugs out. Hang in there. I'm glad you didn't have a failure with that wheel.

Yes -- I couldn't remember what Jay said but now that you say that he did mention a crush tube.

I would think if it were a spoke you could feel a loose one, I too feel it is either the crush tube int the wheel or the spokes. Have you had the tire off the new rim? just a thought maybe something is in there? Can you get it rolling it in the drive?
