Well, that WAS true, but now Kellogg’s owns Proctor & Gamble. Kellogg’s is now the world’s second largest snack food company after Pepsico. I assume both are subsidiaries of Ramjack (a Kurt Vonnegut reference

right, just 1/10 of a millimeter seems to much. I like my rim brakes with a short way of response….

As I say above – that is the only way with a stubborn wheel?

I like that. “Tacoed” is so extreme. like the wheel is bent in half. “Pringled” is just about right. The problem is, Kellog’s may wish to protect their trademark with extreme predjudice. Watch your back.

In Britain we say “Pringled” rather than “tacoed”.

I’ve repeated had people come up to me on group rides to point out how out of true my front wheel is. Since it has a drum brake instead of rim brakes (a big step up from the rod brakes it originally had) it doesn’t matter that much, and it’s so hard to find 28″ westwood rims that are flat to begin with..
I’ve had professionals try to true it without much luck. I just try not to look down on it, but if it bothered me as much as it does Yehuda, I’d take the wheel apart and start from scratch…
