Correct l did order before christmas but it was the last day OTR were open so it never got shipped (nor did l expect it to) until Jan 6th when they re-opened.
Being on the far side of Oz it takes a long time for the mail to reach us and even longer for parcels/boxes. It should be here any time from now until the end of next week.
I have moved house and have to unpack the garage and clear some bench space, set up my wheel truing stand, buy a spoke torque wrench from Torpedo 7 and wait for the weather to cool down.
It's flaming 38 deg over here, not working let alone riding in that heat.
Yes l plan to re-spoke myself and will take lots of pics of what to and not to do. Hopefully more of the former.
Geez l was lucky l was only on a slow commute home not being silly in the local bushland when the rim gave out. Didn't feel it go just felt a bit strange turning. Found it when l got home. Phew.
