They're always oppressing me

The bike shop called to tell me they managed to un-pretzel my frame. I actually had help breaking it for a change. I was walking past Lee behind him in the parking lot and he started walking backwards and tripped over my bike. He bent up my wheel badly. Enough so that I had to bang it against the curb to straighten it enough to ride

shit, I'm supposed to be measuring my rims for wear?

I'm probably so fucked. hah!

Well, I've never actually managed to wear one out from braking yet. But one day, one day! I hope to actually do that. They always get crunched before that happens.

Usually I'm the one who crunches them though...

I call shenanigans on the caliper. I have a caliper NOT just for shit like that, but for a million other uses.

Seriously, I can't imagine what my life was like before I got some calipers.

Pfft, no no no, I got a special caliper just to measure rim wear. You can't do that with a regular vernier caliper (unless you have special tips for it).
