How do I use a trainer? I got my bike back from LBS yesterday and my shit is all fucked up again. Here's the story:
>Be me
>Get in bad accident when quick release fails, ambulance, hospital and all
>fuckthatshit.jpg, I'm not doing my own work anymore
>Find respectable LBS, full accident check over, fork replacement, new front tire, brake caliper, and quick release for $130 (discount because poor college student)
>assume everything is done right, I worked in a bike shop and this place looked pretty legit, guys new what they were doing when I talked to them
>get bike back, start riding on rollers
>measure wheelbase length with new fork, set rollers to closest measurement
>after 5 minutes, smell burning rubber and suspect I feel a bump in the back tire
>Harder to pedal than it used to be
>Get off bike
>5 seconds later back tire explodes like a gunshot and bead is off the rim
What did I do wrong? On closer inspection the wheels weren't centered quite right in the dropouts, but not quite rubbing. When I worked in a bike shop I would have gotten canned if I gave a bike back to a customer like that. Should I take it back and ask for a new tube or is it not their fault?
