Anyone care to take a guess why this (picture) is sitting in my garage?

Hurbert II hit a pothole? :-(

 

[Hurbert II]

Nope..

Your 3 wheels shy of getting a winters set.
Warranty replacement rim.
A very generous theif has stolen 5 rims and realised the mini doesnt carry a spare and broke into your garage and left the 5th wheel.

Am i getting warm?

A cheeky eBay purchase?

 

[finnster]

You found it down the back of the sofa?

 

[Paul]

Because you have new wheels

I'm going with this - there was an ex-display rim on eBay for about £200 when my mum was looking to upgrade to 18" the other day.

You're gonna have a piece of glass cut and turn it into a coffee table?

 

[Hurbert II]

LOL! Ok you lot. The "auto-park" curbed the front right rim (or so she says ) so I bought a "rotation rim" to swap the over while the damaged one gets mended.

I am also closer to a full set of 18" winters... So @Cessa was closest

It's my Merckx EMX-1/Ultegra. Great training bike with nice softer geometry for longer rides. It's sitting on a BKOOL Virtual Trainer

Very nice. Do you have a bike rack on your lovely mini? I should have specced the roof rail on mine. Have been looking at Seasucker Talon. I know I can just about squeeze the road bike in the car with the front wheel off but definitely not the mountain bike!

 

[Hurbert II]

no, we use the other car if I need to move the bikes around. Can vouch for Seasucker though, used them on our boat and nothing shifts them even in the most extreme conditions (our boat is a bit of a sailing Caterham.. see tiny pic of us in action )

Actually, I contest! Pothole or curbed, what's the difference? I answered first to boot! I think this pop quiz was rigged! LOL!
