Default Cycle Dry blower warning.

I was using the "Cycle Dry Blower" yesterday and it just Blew up. The wheel inside came halfway out of the case and there was plastic flying everywhere. I'm lucky that I didn't loose an eye or get cut any worse than a small scratch. I just want to let y'all know to be careful when you're using them. It's the small orange machine with the black nozle.

Wouldn't want to be seen by the neighbours using any kind of blower on the bike. They think I'm mad enough as it is.

I just do the quick wash and ride method. It's guaranteed to rain anyway as soon as I get the hose out.

Hackd,

That doesn't "suck".... it BLOWS.... it's a "Cycle Dry BLOWER"...

v2in,

Glad you didn't get hurt.

Don't worry about the your eyes, running with sizzors is the only why you can poke your eye out!
