Bad luck!

Nine days ago, I blew (shredded) the rear tire on my Jamaican Bianchi...


However, and lucky for me, I discovered that a friend could order me a set from somewhere on the island. The tires were supposed to be here on Saturday but did not arrive until this morning. So, I rode the Movements motor bike...


The trip to Black River, Jamaica and then back to my house, in Treasure Beach, covers about twenty miles, each way. When I arrived I was happy to see two new tires and at a very low cost - $2,800.00 JAM which is about $28 US and a heck of a lot cheaper than what I could purchase in Canada. Sadly...

The tires I ordered were 700c x 32. The tires I got are 700c x 23 - not exactly what I wanted but they will work. And, wonder of wonders, for Jamaica - my friend, Conrad the guy who owns the bike shop, told me that I could return them if I wanted to do so. He has a set of 38s that I am not sure will fit my Ambrosia rims. Will 38s fi my rims? If so, I am back to Black River to swap them...
