so i am going out for a ride today, and at mile 8 i run into a road being closed for a parade. no problem, i'll just go around the barrier in the road - i have about 2 feet of pavement to deal with.
so i slow down to about 2-3mph...unclip my left foot and my back wheel catches the edge of the asphault where the gravel is. i fall to the right.
no big deal i think to myself...i get back up to get going again and my rear wheel doesn't move at all...turns out that little fall turned it into a taco. i'm 6'3" 205lbs, so i'm not tiny, but i don't think it should have done that?? it is a Trek 1000 with the cheap bontrager wheels...
also, i am still in my one year warranty, but of course, this isn't covered.
oh yeah...i'm 3 weeks out from the 1/2 iron at racine and my LBS doesn't have a spare rear wheel and it will take a week to get!!!!!!! LAME....i will never step foot into this particuar LBS again.
do you think that little fall should have turned it into a taco???? good thing a friend of mine has 6 sets of wheels...he will loan me a set for my upcoming race :)
