nothing really wrong, just feel like griping:
- the spring on my rear derailleur shifter handle is broken, so after shifting I have to push it back with my thumb. It flops around and rattles when I go over bumps. I don't know when I'll have the time to fix it.
- ditto for the spring in the buckle of one of my shoes - still works but it makes a h*ll of a racket
- tried to fix my umpteenth flat this weekend, but only had fat mtb inner tubes. Tried to squash one of them into my skinny tires, but it just oozed out between the tire and rim. So now I'm riding a fat monster tire in front and a skinny slick in back. Narrow tubes for 26´wheels are a bear to get hold of over here - everyone either rides 28´ road tires or 26´mtb tires.
- and when I inflated the fat tube appropriately the brakes dragged on the tire. And I didn't have any tools handy, so I just had to let some air out. Wobble wobble, smoosh.
Mumble, mumble, I just wanna go ride my bike and have everything WORK! mumble, mumble.
Oh, well, the weather's nice, at least.
