F#$% POTHOLES!

Jeef Beef · 06-11-2010, 07:43 AM

So after the rain this week I drive outside and immediately see this -

I live in a rural area with paved roads - and bloody hell the size of these mofos are enough to swallow a whole wheel. FORTUNATELY this is not one of those threads were I go 'OMFG MY RIM GOT BENT' but I've had a couple of close shaves. Dramatic last second maneuvers have saved my bacon at least 5 times.

To make it worse, my road has NO streetlights so at night it's almost a gamble to drive at the speed limit. Smooth first, then BANG you fall through the Earth. Again, since I drive the road daily, I'm lucky enough to know exactly where all these booby traps are. I feel very sorry for the occasional visitor.

Since my area is rural, the council aren't gonna do shit to fix this. Looks like I'll have to keep playing dodge'em with the potholes for the coming months.

That's not a pothole....THIS is a pothole!

Woah that's huge! Sucks that council aren't going to do anything about it because of where you live. I'm not a fan of potholes either. I can't afford to hit any hard bumps after installing my v2's, my rides pretty stiff now.

You just need some bigger rims, you can ride right over them that way.
