Love your site and used your ridiculously simple method to true my Avid rotor. Worked like a champ.

Thanks again.

I been crankin' and yankin' biggly on my rear 190mm Gustav rotor, which I'm sure Taco Bell uses as a model for their fine cuisine, to no avial. I'm not done yet, a pipe wrench might be next, but boy it's not co(fargin')operating at all.

Next I think I'll remove it and put it on a flat surface and see what, if anything, I can do.

Maybe I need a new rotor but I'm still in denial for a while.

Next I gotta read up on headset installation from the grimy awards, there might be a tip or two in there, like "just wale (sp?) away on that sucker and teach it who's boss".

.....I'm working on a "one blow" rotor trueing evolution to compliment the "one blow - two cups" headset installation instructions. Can you just hold off a while?

The headset installation instructions got put on hold for a few months as I couldn't find a helper who wouldn't flinch at the peak movement. Of couse my old helper losing a thumb didn't help matters when the story got around. I've modified my technique since then.

I'm now looking for a blind man with no sense of anticipation and who doesn't listen to rumours.

I'll get back to ya.
