was on way home lastnight and came round a tight corner on narrow road and was a massive lorry with a tractor on the back blocking the road, so i had to swerve up the verge

happened to be the only bit of road for 4miles with a kerb and it was one of those old style ones, all sharp and rough

managed to take a chunk out of every spoke on both wheels that side as the spokes stick out a bit

bummer

Just drive it normally for a couple of weeks, you'll soon cover up those nasty marks with some new muck off the roads... cheaper than a refurb
