Stof akkedis Posted January 12, 2011 Share Hey HubbersHope you had a better day than me. So I steal a few hours from work to go riding My Au pair is sick, so get home at 6 cook bathe and love my two daughters. Man's got to make a plan. Anyhow Get home kit up jump on the bike and of I go 5 min in my front calliper is making strange noises. Out come the multi tool for calper aligment in stead I strip the thread of the fork Any advice on that one.Not the end of the world but a bit of a downer. Of the tar and on to the single track through the thick grass, smell something shiety and yes somebody did it right in the foot path SO after some swearing scraping swearing and more scraping I am off again.30 min later snake bite on the front. Stop fix the bite, then the wire thin presta valve thread thingy breaks of completely. NOw I am realy stuffed, 8 ks from home and no back up plan. So an hour later of pushing and carying. I finaly made it back to work just in time to go home. So hope you had a better dayStill beats working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
