wheel pit at Minden crit
Tue, 07/28/2009 - 9:53am
I've ended up with a pair of wheels from the pit at the Minden crit that aren't mine. They were in Mavic wheel bags in the same location that I had left my spare set and I accidentally grabbed them after the 40+ crit. (I'll plead disappointment and anoxia for my error). I'm also hoping that someone has my set. Mine where FSA RD 800s (medium depth carbon tubular with funky middle flange in the hubs) and Vittoria tires also in black Mavic wheel bags.
email or call if I have yours or you have mine.
Thanx

Must have been the altitude!

Okay, this is far too ridiculous a situation not to share with the entire region, and whoever else has the misfortune to step into this zebra-dung of a Forum.
So picture this:
The best and brightest of the masters racers in the most affluent and well-educated middle-aged population in the country gather once a year to contest who among them is superior, and will be permitted the honor of wearing the garland of victory, representing us all wherever they may choose to tread.
So ... at least three of these Superstar Geniuses of American higher education accidentally walked off with each others' completely different and unique wheelsets from the pits. Why? Because they had the same colored wheelbags. And didn't notice.
Now there are at least four brain-guys involved in trying to redistribute bags all over two states; yes, the same braniacs who failed to notice the existence of other bags of similar dimension and color in a tiny wheelpit. "How tiny?" you may ask. The 30+ race had seven guys in it.
The most extreme part of the story? The only guy who did NOT screw up -- the guy who was victimized by the combined tangle of intellect of these stooges -- was the biggest, meanest, nickname-deservin'est Monster, last seen rumbling his tatt-ridden gams down the road on his oversized Harley warming up his sawed-off on bunnies and comfort-bikers.
My inner zebra-fairy tells me there's going to be all kinds a' carnage on the dusty streets of San Ardo.
Hey Zebra,
Thanks for the warning. Rich has already tracked me down though. I used a bit too high a percentage of the in-your-face and am now licking my wounds! This has all been one bizarre black mavic wheel bag ménage a trois. My wheels are with a third party and his with the promoter! It's all Keith Williams' fault for not providing neutral support.

Jeff -
You have Rich :x Monster :x Juarez' wheels. And he ain't happy.
Zebraman's advice:
I think you'd be bet served with a mixture of 42% contrition, 38% self-effacement, 18% prayer and at most 2% in-your-face-for-having-common-wheelbags-with-no-nametag attitude.
I'll be happy to play middleman to return the wheels, but you'll have to trust me that I don't (accidentally) fan the Monster's burning flame into BBQ'ing your arse.
