Thread: boy can't put a wheel on a bike properly

I am two weeks post surgery on a broken collar bone. I entered my first DH mtn bike race June 19 and went with my boyfriend (at that time). I had to change the tube on my front tire and in the middle of doing this he put his hands in the way insisting that he do it thinking he would do it faster/better?? The first race of the day was just the silly Super-D. Almost done with the race, I was thrown over the handle bars on a straight, smooth part of the trail. I was stunned and wondered what happened. I turned to see my bike upside down and the front wheel about 6 feet away from it. The (now X-boyfriend) boy had not set the axle far enough into the fork and the wheel gradually worked it's way out. I decided it was over between me and him on the way to the hospital when he acted far less than empathetic, supportive...
Just thought I'd see what comments came of this.

im thinking youll get more new bf applications than comments.

and then some other people will say its your own fault for letting an untrusted mechanic fix your rig pre-race.

but before all this youre gonna have to post some naked pics of yourself. because youre a girl and because the demands for naked pics have been lax lately. blame the heat.

personally, a topless photo with your slinged arm strategically placed and surgery scar visible would be tits! since youre new ill give you an example:

Welcome to TGR Joni.

I am a pro mechanic and will let you work on your bike, wanna ride some time?

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, trust this person and whatever you do don't get in his van.

Damn Joni, didn't get the backstory on that one! Brutal. It all makes sense now.

BTW, looks like I'm not going to SA this year, again, too many other financial obligations right now.

Second dfinn's advice, don't be lured by the eight bike capacity on Missiongravity's van.

-Sam

that bf deserved to be kicked to the curb.

This is why I stay away from relationships

Joni - Having been there myself, I am very sorry to hear about your clavicle. I'm not, however, sorry to hear you kicked you BF to the curb; it sounds like he needs a swift kick in the nuts.

Were you one of several clavicle fractures at the Wolf Creek race?

Are you using a bike with a quick-release fork for a DH race???

BTW, don't listen or trust Dfinn. He's a dirtly little gnome.

Thanks Natedogg, I am a well rounded guy. I just needed someone to shoot down DFinn before I could jump back in this conversation.

You should date me, I won't touch your bike

wow, I get my internet up and running again, and there's chicks trolling for new BFs. I love TGR.

I just broke my wrist, can you help me get this couch into my van?

so thats what the server maintenance was for! A+!

yes, it was at Wolf Creek.
thanks for the words

this story became more popular than I ever imagined!
I am still hearing about it 9 months later.
looking back this was a blessing in disguise really, despite losing a whole bike/climbing season and gaining a 4 inch long scar, titanium plate, and 6 screws.
