GAR!

had to drive into work today...

I "fixed" both my bikes on Christmas Eve and now neither is rideable

one bike, i changed the chain, but it went too long and the cogs are trashed, chain just skips around.

Put a new set of tires on the other, pumped up to 100pis, and BLAM! blew out the side of a new tire and the tube. i think the tire was faulty from the factory... and no spare tube for this bike (long valve stem rqd). i was careful too - pumped to 20psi first, made sure seated correctly and all, oh well.

Today was a "good" day to drive: cold and rainy. but the first time on 4 wheels in months. Tomorrow will be better.

Cheers
