Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

As I've mentioned a hundred tiems before, I am mechanically challanged--here is the proof. Tonight i decide to install my newwheel set. After 2 hours what i have to show is a roudned out nut, a big black mark on my wall, a ripped open thumb, and a rear wheel that i"i think" is centered but creaks/clanks every so often when i rotate the cranks really fast.

Then, after this fiasco, some dumb part in my brain says "hey while your working on the bike, why not adjust the seat?"----Stupid G.D. Bianchi Pista seat post--the G.D. nut wont stay in its groove, the crappy seat post has the threads too close to one another so that everytime i get the seat dailed in where i want it and start to tighten--yup, stupid nut falls out and/or seat rail clamps slide forward 2-3 notches. Ok, untighten----move seat back----repeat---same result--swear at bike---throw tools at wall ---drink 3 shots and try again


GRRRRRR!
