    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    Actually no I did not. I meant to call them and ask when it would be ready but they were closed by the time I realised what time it actually was (6pm). Also I don't want to hassle the guy and text him. I'll call tomorrow...

    Hassle him .. if you don't then all the other "urgent" jobs will get done first and you'll keep dropping down the queue .. When I drop a bike off I tell them "I'll pick it up after work" ... and I expect it to be ready ...

    Upside down and back to front are the same thing on a tyre ...

    Are you sure it is not inside out ???

    So it’s conceivable that it could be a simple matter of the atmospheric conditions working against, rather than for, the vulcanised circumference of the front end attachment?

    That would depend on the ambient temperature, combined with the internal air pressure inside the tyre and the external pressure outside the tyre - i.e. whether it was running a a low pressure climate system or a high pressure climate system.

    And then you'd have to factor in the pressure inside the dampers on the front end attachment.

    ....and tipping into a corner with that in mind would cause the open plane parabolic curvature formed by those combined additional extremities to adversely affect the synchronous line taken. Simple really.
