Just one of those days
Do you guys have those days where everything is going wrong with your bike, and I"m over exaggurating? or is my bike really beat up? I went for a 60km ride today... the drivetrain was really squeeky - I was going to ride today no matter what
Thanks
Thanks

Yeah one time i was riding and the drivetrain was squeeking like CRAZY! I thought it was going to fall apart. I took it into the shop and they adjusted some stuff and now its fine. Maybe its time for an adjustment of things?

I had a day like that yesterday.
I crashed on the way to school, scraped up my arm and got blood on my nice clean jacket. Also bent my front derailleur all to heck, it's a crescent shape now.
My chain then proceeded to fall off every 30 seconds so instead on 10 mintes to get to school it takes me 30.
Im late for class and I get a referral.
After school my bike decides to give me more crap bygetting a flat at a stop light. +20min to my commute home.
On the bike path I get chased by someones stupid german shepard that they let out. Thank gawd that im a decent sprinter.
Finally make it home. Then I realize that I have a test in every period the next day.
Made it through the tests. I did well on spanish and algebra 3/4 and ok on ENS and computers.
Thats my crappy day for you.

In the last week, I've ridden 5 times. I've had 4 flats, 1 destroyed tire, a broken valve, a grinding rear hub, a rear derailleur go completely out of adjustment and been rained on severely on 4 of those days. This after not having a single issue all year.
Almost made me want to sell the bike.
