Noticed it had a slow leak. Rode it anyway. Pedalled to my shop, picked up some stuff.

Had a flat session then pedalled off to pick up a back wheel for commuter bike.

Cruised home then headed to my local park - there was a roller blade comp on. Got a lift with a friend and jumped a few box jumps at another park.

Had dinner, then rode home. Right before my house, there was a BMW mashing wrong way down the street trying to get the green arrow, missed the cunt by inches, scared the shit out of me.

Tightened all the bolts then rode it off a wall.

How does this even happen? Pin just seems to have disappeared without bending the outer plates at all haha. Time for a new chain.

It's finally cooling down so I decided to go take my bike out and go for chill night session. Then, 15 minutes into it, my right foot slipped off the pedal and I took it to the shin, badly. This is the last time I'm riding without shin guards.

my duct tape rim strip which worked fine for about a month decided to stop working, got like 5 flats all on the rim in different spots yesterday, WTF...

I guess all the heat lately made the duct tape give in

I had been getting really irritated with my Evo II's as they were super loose on the mounts. The bushings wore out after a month of use.
So I mounted up the ol' Hombres that I had modified to clear 25-9 years ago.
I also bent and reshaped my lever to sit flatter and closer to the bars. I wanted to get rid of the box wrench marks so I spent some time with a file, some sand paper and a bit of polish.

Get low

No excess cable
