Incubus – I wish you were here

This little bastard is all it takes to ruin my chi. Shown with a standard M3 screw for size reference. It shouldnt be called an M3 screw, given that it’s not an M3 thread *rolls eyes*

Though I made the most of it – I was late for work anyway, so I took my time replacing the tube in my back tyre. I enjoyed the morning sun, and the din of the Hutt highway traffic contrasted with the sound of the harbour going about its business. It was almost therapeutic. And I was reminded of another reason why I like to cycle – it’s fraternal: So many other cyclists slowed down and asked if I needed anything.

But damn, what a difference a properly matched and inflated tube can make – I’ve been running a 1.95″ that some arrogant jerk at some random cycle shop gave me instead of the 1.25″ I specified. I should have taken it back and thrown it at him, but instead I got a 10-pack from Torpedo7.

Tube at a bike shop = $11
10 pack online = $25-30
