I haven't bought my kit yet I have a question on my back wheel does it have to be a perfectly streaght wheel?? and sorry for my lousy spelling
Does my wheel need to be straight?

Yes!. If the wheel wobbles that means the spokes aren't true. That's going to come back and bite you somewhere along the way. Get the rim trued by a professional or follow the tutorials available on the net on how to true spoked rims. You'll be glad you did.

Brakes are the important issue you need to concentrate on. You'll be adding weight and speed to your bike. Having good brakes is essential. Don't scrimp on them.

when I'm running low on money and my brakes are worn out, I spend it on brake pads. at the speeds these things go, straight wheels and good brakes are a huge must. I dont know about disc brakes, but I go through V-brake pads every couple months, so I just buy the cheap $7 ones
