• Feh. My Airhorn Only Had One Toot

  I was so excited to get my bicycle all fixed up. What started out as a $10 repair turned into a $70 repair. New crankshafts, new chainring, new spindle because the chainring was too big for the old spindle, and new chain because the old chain was too small for the new chainring. Add golf balls, velcro and an airhorn and the whole thing turned out more expensive than I thought it would be. But it also includes enhancements to help me out later.

  I installed the airhorn and gave one satisfying blast, then put more air into it to record the sound for the blog entry and … nothing.

  I fiddled with the lines, put more air into it, and nothing. And Nashbar’s customer service isn’t taking calls until tomorrow.

  So, the whole thing won’t be finished until tomorrow, or possibly later if I need to send the airhorn back. At least the bike is back in working order, and I do have the golf balls mounted, so I’ve got *something* other than just my voice.

  Feh.

   Now you have discovered something I enjoy doing. I truly like going out, searching the web & finding potential answers for people. Maybe this thread will help you- maybe you already found it. Either way, if I could make a sufficient living doing this, I’d be as happy as a puppy with a new toy.
