A big thanks to the forum and especially Chad

[Lord Vader]

Today was a day of lots of firsts
Well it started yesterday morning when i finished my nightshift,came out to my bike and my rear was flat
So while i was waiting for the recovery truck Deb was getting a new innertube.
I decided while the rear was of to change my worn out TKC to the mitas i had waiting in the garage.

So today for the first time in my life by myself!


i took the rearwheel out
managed to get the old tyre off
get the new tyre on
fit the innertube without pinching it
and fitted the wheel back onto the bike

I only stopped to call the ambulance a few times to stop the major bleeding and the people from the Oxford dictionary cause i am sure i invented a few new words.
Of course i had a hotline to master Chad which i used a few times.

So a big Thank You to all the guys which had and have the patience to try to explain things to me about bikes.I do take things in even if it is very slow.
As the guys which know me will agree,that little change of tyre and tube is for me as big as the americans going to the moon.
Of course i will go past Chads first on my way to work tonight just to make sure i did everything right and did not forget to fit a few parts back on

Congrats, good one.

Who knows, in a few short decades you'll be replacing your own final drives.
