god fucking damnit
insanely fucking long hose clamp Giant Loop supplied with their heatshield came loose, somehow did a 180 around the exhaust and bodywork, and rubbed on my rim for 10 miles or something. I knew I should've cut the fucking thing but the instructions didn't say to and I didn't want to leave a jagged-ass edge, which now I've got because the only thing I had that could get through the fucking thing was a sawzall, so I safety wired it but it didn't hold. I can probably touch it up easily enough but it definitely took a little bit of metal off and now I'm worried about the integrity of the rim.
