He busted off his front derailleur shifter (I know, why aren't we going 1x11 yet?) and we had to stick it in a glove and wire it on for the remainder of the ride.

It's the cycle of life, Snobby. As you get older you realise such spruce-ups are pointless because it will all turn to shit again.<br /><br />Speaking of being anal, I followed your suggested method of aligning a tyre's brand stamped on its sidewall with the valve after I repaired a puncture recently. While I appreciate and accept the logic of this procedure, I was left in a quandary as my tyre's branding was on two different locations on either side of the tyre.<br /><br />"Damn you to hell, Snobby, damn you to hell!", I roared at this vexing complication.<br /><br />It might be too advanced for your readership, but perhaps you could issue a short tutorial about how one deals with this bewildering problem?<br /><br />I'd think it'd come down to a question of making the alignment on the less cluttered non-drive side or on the all-business drive side... <br /><br />But it's really not my place to say. <br /><br />It's above my station. <br /><br />I apologise for my hubris.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
