I hope that you will enjoy laughing with me. I did a stupid this morning. I decided to try to ride my bike at noon at work today. I got my clothes and accessories, installed the bike rack on the car, hung the bike on the rack, took the front wheel off the bike, locked the bike and rack to the car and drove off.
Did you see anywhere in that list where I put the wheel in the car? I backed out the driveway, felt a little bump then another and thought, "Mike, you dummy!"
I ran over the wheel. I don't think that I did that much damage. The quick release skewer is pretty much buggered, but the wheel is actually straight. I expected it to look like a potato chip. I will try the quick release skewer from my wife's road bike when I get home. That may be all that I need. If I have actually ruined the hub, I may have to get a whole wheel.
Mike, here's your sign.
