Confessions from the fuckwits

[pink poodle]

Did you line up the valve stem with the brand name on the tyre? Or do we need another confession?

Unaligned is probably what caused the leak! He is too ashamed to admit it, so smashed the rim in as cover.

Does that mean the stars must be align before I ride as well?

I tried chucking a tantrum and stomping on them, then ordering some new one's from Oakley.com.au who apparently no longer make them in the USA and send everything direct from China. Top work Donald you big orange baby.

I removed some overspray from the E2 taillights with claybar after some numpty spray painted the back of my car while testing his airless gun. Anyways the metal was never a concern but the lights were some soft clear plastic and the claybar took it off without scratching.

Some days it will feel like that.

Beat me to it. That's certainly what must have happened, I know that's the path I'd take if I found my valves were misaligned...

I like things done properly on my bikes, but I'm not OCD, nor superstitious, however since learning valve alignment is a thing i can't not do it when I fit a tyre.

Lining up logos with valves isn't just OCD or superstition, there's a practical background for philistines who still use tubes. Helps one find which sector of the tyre to examine for the prick that caused the puncture.

Could not agree more, for riders that use tubes then this makes it much easier

That is a pretty cool idea for a YouTube video though - Stopping people at the trail ahead and assessing their bikes for correctness.

Dress up as a security guard and carry an ipad or something - Stand at the trail entrance and stop them for an inspection and let them go through only if they pass
