Not only have I punctured my smooth riding Schwalbe Stelvio up front, its got a fookin huge rip in it, meaning its dead. Not only have I done that but its the second fucking Stelvio.
This time it just blew up whilst I was speaking to my mam on the phone on my bed.
It really sucks. Thats another new tyre I need. No more fucking stelvios.
But then in general my luck isn't too good with bits breaking. I punctured the rear on friday and snapped the seat pin bolt last week (ripping my jeans and puncturing my inner thigh) and broke a chain the other week - twice (that was my fault, I knew it was going to happen - particularly the second time).
I think I should be not allowed to ride a bike, or build them. Or maybe I should just donate all my money to an inner tube company and then go live in a hole and be done with it.
Yeah. Ummm. Okay that was a bit of a pointless post. But it was cathartic.
I have to take the bmx to the shop first thing to get a tube to come back to fit it to ride accross London to school. Woot.
