u know when u just have to tell someone..?

so i just did the un-do-able. or undid the totally done. or what ever way u look at performed a small miracle like just in the nick of time! i wish i had before and after photos to illustrate the tale, but i have at least a few witnesses of nico falling on my back wheel during last sunday's polo game, and the resulting "wheel-so-buckled-it-wont-pass-thru-the-frame"-ness. strangely, i was more concerned about the scrape he got on his arm than my wheel and he was more concerned about my back wheel than his arm. but anyway, what are days off for? fixing bikes! or performing small miracles, but yeah, witnesses are required for the latter i guess. anyway, it didnt need a new rim, it didnt need any new spokes, and its almost more straight than it was before the game of polo! all i did was totally reduce the tension on the spokes, hit the rim on the ground a few times and tension it back up till it was straight. and no, i havent measured the tension to check if its even on all the spokes, i dont want to. i dont need to infact. there is no chance it is. but the wheels on my bike go round and round again. just in time for the arnhem alleycat! see u there
