Today my nearly new GP4000s tire blows out with a bang (found a big screw on the road so that might have been it). Think I can boot that?
So is there a purification ritual or anything? Need to make things right again.
Oh yes, there's a purification ritual. It's a very simple three step process:
1: Go to your local Specialized store
2: Buy a 61cm S-Works Roubaix SL4.
3: Ship it to me
If it doesn't work it will indicate that you weren't sufficiently penitent when you followed it, so the process should be repeated. Feel free to substitute an S-Works Stumpjumper FSR if necessary, or if you need to repeat the process.
