Lend the kid a wheel, Hank.

No offense NoF3ar but it really sounds like you're trying to get out of it. Not even because your bike is messed up but because you waited until two days before the race to say anything. Anyone have some wheels for the kid to borrow?

No kidding...last week, it was a sprained ankle, now the bike is unrideable. I'm sure someone in the area will be willing to lend a wheel and tire to see this thing happen!

Heck, lend the kid a whole bike!

I don't think you understand. Something else on my bike breaks down everytime I ride it. I just rode the bike a few days ago and more crap is wrong with it. When I took it outta the car, the tread had 2 holes in the sidewalls and the tube pinched through and exploded. Im not asking or looking for excuses, the circumstances just keep getting worse. If people want to give me ****, Im just gunna say screw it. How am I looking to get out of it, I didn't pop my tread or bend my rim on purpose. I didn't make the weather absolutely miserable. Its overcast, rainy, and the winds are at least 30-50 mph.

NoF3ar, I feel your pain, but really, if your bike is that messed up, why are you on here talking junk? Youve got yourself in quite a situation.

is your car made out of knives and razor blades?
the weather will be the same for both riders, its a fair race.

there are people in america right now that would kill for that forcast!

me for one

All of my challenges were made weeks ago when my bike was in perfectly fine condition. But leading up to this race, Ive been riding my bike everyday. At the end of every ride it seems something is messed up with the bike. I don't even know what happened to the tread, I think it was just really weak. The sidewalls started ripping in multiple places, just one spot it ripped fairly big.

Ok guys, lets just keep this on topic and let me and hank discuss it in pms.

didnt he offer to race you 6 months ago too? What ever happened to that?

Well considering I haven't even been a member of this forum for 6 months... It was more like a month ago, and that account of his was banned.

Me and him will discuss it in pms, and tell everyone the date. Afterwards we'll give the results. This has been beaten to death.

This is on topic....it's a perfect time for someone on here to help someone in need!

Can anyone local get NoF3ar a wheel for Wednesday?

NoF3ar, do you have paypal? Everyone here could paypal you like 50 cents and you could go buy a wheel.

Nope, I think you need a credit card for that.

nope, just a bank account right?

we could all paypal hank, then hank can buy a wheel and bring it to the race.

Ill donate $3 to the cause.

Is that a 7 speed wheel?

Yep, just need a bank account I do believe.

26 inch rim, 7 rings in the back

uh? 3 x 6 = 18

Wouldn't it have to have 1.5 rings in the front then?

Hi there

Yea, absolutely I always slow down and ask if the person is okay or if they need some help. You never know when it may be you who needs the help.
