It looks bad, but there's laps and laps of pump track action left in that race. |
I was too tired and then I was in a hurry and things went sideways and I royally effed it up and ended up with a wheel that no longer worked and after trying for a while to right my wrongs, I finally gave up and went to bed in utter despair and spent part of what shoulda been a really good night of sleep staring at the ceiling. Pissed as hell.
I wasn't gonna let this cheap-ass, worn-out wheel ruin more than one day of my life, so I did the smart thing today by taking a deep breath, setting all my pride and angst free, and calling Glen. He made incredibly short work of straightening things out.
My emotions of joy and relief vastly ruled over having to face any realization that I'm a hack, and besides, I didn't have time to dwell on that . . . while I was there, something else sprang forth from Glen's pump track bike fountain . . .
It's steel, with rad elliptical top and down tubes, a Ford decal, left-handed rear braking and it weighs a comparatively feather-like 24#. Tonight I've got something way better to think about while I stare at the ceiling. Thanks, Glen.
