I had an interesting ride into work today. First I left late and so I was riding pretty hard to make up some time. I was chased by a small furry dog. He was pretty fast. I had to sprint to 25 mph to finally lose him. 10 miles into my 15 mile commute I had 2 spokes break. I had to loosen up the rear brakes so the wheel wouldn't drag on the brake pad. Then I limped the rest of the way into work on a wobbly rear wheel with no brakes. Wouldn't you know that the spokes that broke were on the drive side of the wheel. My wife is so wonderfull, she made a trip to work for me with tools and parts so I could repair my wheel to make the ride home in the morning. I repaired my wheel right on my desk. I will give the wheel a perfect true when I get home in the morning. I can get it really close by using the brake pad as a caliper to use as my reference. Even though I had some challenges today. I would rather ride to work then drive.
