Dear BF:
I miss you terribly, and I'm very glad you'll be back here on a permanent basis in six days. However:
It's my bike, and my tires. Yes, they're a pain in the neck when it comes to getting the wheel off the bike, but it's still doable. There are less than 300 miles on those tires. They're still in good shape. I'll replace them with 700x23s when they wear out, but not before. Unlike you, my hobby isn't subsidized by like-minded parents.
