One question, How?

I’d spent 40 mins climbing/tootling to here, had a quick breather, dropped the old saddle and set off, fast, far too fast, approximately 30 seconds later i hit a nice jump, 5 seconds after that i hit a rock square on and it just fired me clean out and over!! Today i ache, and yesterday i had to walk home!! 🙄

Ouch, that’ll teach you to use your brakes next time 🙂

Brakes?? The offending rock bettered any hope, avid, or shimano set up you could ever dream of!! 😯

I meant slow down so you dont hit the rock

What about Formula’s?

Tacoed wheels can sometimes be pushed back into shape.

If there’s no rim damage you’ve nothing to lose by trying.

Tacoed?? That being the shape?? If so it’s better than my “pringle” description!! 😆

I use Pringle as a verb, as in ‘Hee hee, he’s pringled his wheel.’
