straightening non-spoked alloy wheels is much easier than tweaking on bike 
wheels for hours on end. here in charleston they love to slap a 1-2" thick 
plate down whenever they do maintenance under/across the road. they appear 
at random, and almost exactly where i happen to be driving the rieger 
(murphys law i suppose). anyhow, i end up straightening a bend or 2 every 
month or so. its easy.
