I was mountain biking with friends... I had just put new tires on my mountain bike rims..
Friend: How do you like those new tires?
Me: I like them a lot, they have good grip in the dirt
Friend: [looking over the new tires] Huh, do you know you have them on backwards?
Me: [trying to look confident] Yes, I was looking at the tread and thought they may grip better this way... I'll have to switch them around now, to see if my experiment worked.
true, but think about rolling the tire in the direction of the arrow, while it may be pointing forward while on the bottom, the tire is rolling backwards
I know that. I was being facetious.... should have used the sarcasm font.
but thanks for making sure that my stuff was straight.
