life consists of white and black stripes. Yes, everyone is the creator of his own destiny, but it seems to me that sometimes we are unable to control something.

Having driven from Silvio's house about 7 km, we had a problem. Due to the long and steep descent, the brake pads stuck to the hub cup. We were just lucky that we did not fly into a cliff. Since the rear wheel is completely blocked and skidding. Thanks to Vanya's driving skills and good reaction, the choice was either a cliff or the nearest bushes in the rock. It's a pity that the adrenaline was so high that we forgot to take a picture of our braking distance.


Having cooled the sleeve with water from a flask, we manually tarakinil led to the end of the descent, where Vanya began to study the problem. Thanks to our friends from the Zaporizhzhya store FUTEN for the light tools from Neko, who helped us fix the bike.
