Cut off part of my right pointer finger...

[Adam G]

Yeah...well...

I had just received two new disk rotors in the mail for my bike (ebay)!
One of the two previously on my bike was bent.

So, as soon as I got home, 2:45PM, I ripped open the package and ran to the shop to install them. I was planning on riding down to the school after I did so.

First ones went on with a little work, adding a couple washers for space. Adjusting the brakes took me about 10 minutes, but I assumed it would take something like that, so no problem.

I installed the rear rotor, a washer for space and it was all good. Messing with the brakes was a female of the dog species. I need to realign the wheel someone soon.
I spun the wheel, then slid the brake system over by pushing on it.

You can see the braking system here...

3:00PM
So, I went to slide it over, again and the rotor caught my finger...hurts l like hell and makes everyth -- just realized I was getting blood on keyboard as I type, yes this is real time, folks! -- everything harder. Especially typing and using a mouse...

Some pictures..remember, I'm using one hand and a right handed camera in my left hand...

I ran inside, washed it out in the sink ( Extremely painful), then held a paper towel to it for about half an hour....yeah. It wasn't a "slice", more like some kind of blunt force, the disk rotor has 90 degree angles...

So, comments and questions below...

Wow! Good thing fingertips are the only body parts that grow back!

Ouch...

I'd get that checked by a doctor - might need stitches...I thought I didn't need them once but the cut kept opening back up - turned out I did.

You might want to see a doctor like he said, looks pretty bad!

[Adam G]

I'll see if it's not better in about a week, problem is, how would a doctor stick under a fingernail? I'm worried since the nail is growing in under the broken-off part that it will end up ripping that part of again.

bah you don't need stitches. Stitches are for wussies anyways. Pour some hydrogen peroxide on it and you will live.

Neat!
