Taco Time

Not one of my finer moments.

In a fit of unmitigated anger/stupidity I chucked the B.U.S.S. (Blue Urban Single Speed - sorry Bianchi...) into the trees alongside a paved path. There was a silly crash and I lost my cool.

I also lost a few bucks as the B.U.S.S. came down hard on the rear rim and tacoed it pretty well. Not only did I have to suffer the indignation of loosing my cool in a major and public way, but I had to undo my rear brake to even get back to the car. Thawup, thawup, thawup it went for about four miles.

Evidence of my silliness:

Found a compatibly sized rim and re-laced it myself. I'll probably have a shop check my true/dish but it is pretty close.
