Don't feel bad, I just replaced the lower pulley on my cruiser's RD and forgot to tighten the top
screw. Rode about 1 mile, looked down just in time to keep from losing the upper pulley. Still lost
the spacing washers and had to jerry rig it to get back home.

Damn I'm rusty - that's a rookie mistake!

I never fit a Specialized FatBoy road-slick onto a RhynoLiteXL.

It could have been worse if it were a non-disc front wheel, and after you fit the tire the 2nd time,
a friend asks you: "Why didn't you just take out the skewer and reverse it?" Actually BTDT around 10
yrs ago. Doh!

That's OK. You probably made a few holes in your tube, anyway 🙂

Arg. Just thinking about it makes me break into a sweat. I have to fight and yell at those tires
every time I have to fit them to any rim. It takes all the force my body can harness into that tiny
plastic tire lever to get them on, and I usually take bits and pieces of rubber surrounding the bead
each time. Changing them on the road would be a nightmare.

Just like I didn't haul 4 wheels and 5 tires down to the bike shop to drop off for them to snicker
at me and then do quietly and calmly what was driving me crazy.

Ok I give up, how do you get 5 tyres onto 4 wheels?

C-Section.. that is one tough broad!

Of course there _was_ that _one_ time I gave her a _light_ tap of a round-house kick to the head,
but she was taunitng me........

Sounds like a story problem or a riddle, doesn't it? One of the wheels already had a tire on it that
needed swapping out.
