Description

You're probably wondering why the hell I would post a picture of the rear bike wheel. This wheel was installed on my bike on Wednesday around 1100 because I rode my bike hard and destroyed the original wheel, specifically the axel and bearings. My dad covered the cost of replacement ($50.00 - I'll repay him next Monday). The difference in the ride was like night and day.. the old wheel had a play of 1/4 inchess or 6.35mm. I truly destroyed the wheel by riding the bike the way it was designed to be ridden, hard. Have a great day Mike

Good grief, I can get a tire for my truck cheaper than that! You better take care of this new one.

Looks like a mountain bike. I like the nubby tires because they grip gravel good.

Well, I hope you get a lot of good miles out of this one, Mike! I haven't been on a bike for I don't know how long. I'll bet you're in great shape, though, and we get to see lots of great photography as side benefit! So keep on ridin' my friend!
