The Hard Knock Life
It's a hard knock life when you:

1. Puncture your CF Boyd tubulars while commuting + the sealant doesn't seal.
2. You switch to your Nemesis build but find the tires are falling apart
3. and Schwalbe can't deliver your replacement tires overnight (two of them even though only 1 tire failed because they have to match)
4. so you're forced to ride a set of H+Son Archetypes laced with CX-Rays to 9000 hubs wrapped in 27mm Paves w/BUTYL tubes.

Also, only enough milk for 1 cup of coffee + the apple fritter at work is now a day old.

Option 4 sounds pretty damn good to me.

Also no milk is still enough milk for infinite cups of coffee.

Seems you need to record some freestyle like Gambino over the Grinding my Whole Life hook..

NSFW, and potentially offensive:

Did I miss an awesome gofundme solicitation thread?

Hmm... I wonder if I was creative enough in my presentation I could crowd-source my divorce expenses

Yep, real world problems there.

A little zap time in the microwave and that fritter will be good as new.

Enjoy the ride.

Bruh, you know me (even though you won't ride with me) I'm 28h all the way.

And, on a serious note. I forgot just how nice these Archetypes are. They brake better than the Nemesis and I'm still able to run <80psi. It's time to do go for a few KOMs.

Archetypes are legit.
Westside makes me sad, doe.

Let's meet up in K Town and do some Mulholland type action. I'll be back from the East Coast on Aug 4.
