damn. 2day's my sway day lah. lol. oh well. what to do, life's like that. can't help but just get it over with. (:first off, when i was maintaining my bike, it was all going well, until i tried to remove my front wheel. it freaking gave me such a hard time lah. anyway, my Wethepeople Everlast fork's bent. so much for its name uh? haha. i wanted to realign my front wheel as it was a little to the side. and i was using the small wrench as i didn't have a cross spanner. the screwdriver that i used broke cleanly. snap. i was like OMG WTF!?!? ~!@#$%^& lol. i gave up and put my bike back where it was and returned to the comp.
the rain had stopped so we went out to ride. riding wasn't that bad. we had Han Wei, Ivan and Ian with us. i managed to pull off a 360 floater to half barspin. i almost did a full one but didn't manage to catch it. i also almost did a manual to barspin. lol. gotta work on those. those are fun. i also did a tail tap off a curb and hopped back up the curb. and also a g-turn straight to a slider out. and Danny's backward manual to manual thingy. cool stuff lah. x) so i progressed a lot today.
proceeded to stadium to ride after that. Danny and Sean came. after awhile of riding, just when i was turning, my front tire went "BOOM" all of a sudden. then i went OMG WTF!?!?! again.
here's a pic of how badly the tire got torn up.
it was really damn loud lah. everyone there got a shock. and there was smoke coming out too. lmao. oh well. its just my luck. then i rang yang ee up and asked him if he had spares tubes or tires. he didn't have tubes but had a tire. so we just went over to his place. Han Wei proceeded home. fixed up my front wheel. used a Haro tire. zzz... and just used his friend's tube. i'm going down to Tiong Hin tmr to get a new tire and stock up on tubes. dammit. i need cash badly. i have yet to pay for my CPF back to Humble House. a lot sia. shit lah. i'm strapped of cash. someone save me. :/
anyway i think i'm gonna be importing a Sunday Night fork, an Attila frontload stem and a titanium spindle for my cranks. i'm seriously gonna cut down some more weight on my bike. i need knee gaskets and shin pads too. i don't know if i can afford them but i need to get them to save my own legs from becoming too bruised and battered. it simply sucks lah. i guess thats all lah.
ciao.
