USPS site says mine was delivered today... lets see if they are telling the truth this time.

You would think that two packages shipped the same day by the same guy to two locations relatively close to each other would follow the same path, wouldn't you?
Apparently not!

We shall see... so many times USPS online has said they have delivered but not until the next day. Perhaps RW USPS is telling the truth and Wayne USPS is lying thru their digital teeth...

Apparently one day riding a bike in NYC will make you 10 days closer to your final destination...

Well, you started with the leading spikes so that would be backward...not sure if it affects anything really. Are the heads of the spoke on the inside or outside of the flange? You may have problems while lacing the trailingcspokes.
