Wife sets off cycling to work..... then the phone goes

[User33236]

Mrs SG set of to work this morning and I sit back to enjoy the peace and quiet till I need to get ready to head off myself.

About 10 minutes later my mobile phone rings (as unusual event in its own right lol)' . Last time that happened she had been knocked off. Thankfully this time it turned out she had gotten a mile or so down the road and 'snapped a spoke' on her front wheel. She was now walking back and wanted me to get a spare wheel ready.

With my peace now shattered I got the wheel ready as requested and she did a quick 'pit stop' then headed merrily on her way again.

Now had a chance to look at the offending whell, a Kinesis Crosslight Disc V3, and it looks like one of the spoke nipples has pulled through the rim; unexpected on two to three month old wheels purely used on short(ish) commutes but I guess $h!t happens. I'll leave the warranty claim up to her

You mean to say you made her walk back? Why didn't you take the spare wheel to her?

'Cause I wasnt dressed yet and didnt fancy getting arrested lol.

Sounds like a poor excuse to me.
How long does it take to put on a pair of shorts, (it's a warm day), shirt and shoes and get your arse on your bike to meet her.

She needed the exercise

Who knows the wife won't see his posts (or he has money)

or a death wish

You really do have this wrong. You're supposed to follow in a car with a few spare bikes on the roof rack.

In the reversed situation (I call wife aid), I start walking towards home and we meet en route. But that's because I hate waiting.

Sounds like a possible warranty claim to me SG.

I'm in the good books at the moment so can afford to be

She has been complaining for months about the spare parts I am (In her words) hoarding. This morning she began to appreciate them lol.

She plans to contact the seller this morning.
