THINGS GONNA BREAK, ARE YOU?

UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, not only did the steel rod go through my tire and through my rim tape, but right on through the side of the sexy deep dish...

... perfect time.

Because nothing says Yipee like a trashed race wheel a few days before what will likely be the only road race I do this year.

Who doesn't wanna be scrambling for parts when they could calmly be sipping a cool drink on the coach?

I called Enve.

Ya think I could ride it? (the hope in my voice was pathetic).

No sir.

You're sure?

Yessir.

How long to get a replacement?

Oh, 2 days to process your claim and get you an RA number, then 2 days to ship it here, 4-5 days to lace up a new wheel for ya, couple a days to get it back to ya.

Hmmmm.

When do you need it?

In two days.

Sorry man.

Yeah, me too. I'll get it up to you as quick as possible. Thanks for taking care of it.

You bet.

I've put the feelers out for a loaner, and I'm actually hopeful my gravel wheel isn't too wide. The hubs are the same, so is the disc. I'll figure that out tomorrow.

Is there a lesson in there?

Yeah, I think so. Purchasing product from a serious company will always lead to a good warranty solution. It may not be as quick as we'd like, but to think Enve is going to get me a new rim at no cost is flipping unbelievable.

Will it matter at the race?

I hope not.

Can't imagine anything coming down a half a second...

... only one way to find out.

Now, some folks might use this as a reason not to race. Or, perhaps, dog it. Not me. I'm holding myself accountable.
