It could have been much worse...

Eek! I'm glad you're okay, Joe. Well, relatively speaking.
I've got a friend with a NoMar tire mounting machine, if you decide to buy a new rim.
I hope you heal up quickly!

Thanks Elizabeth! I'm in the process of buying a rim from skooter65, so yeah I'll definitely need the tire change.

Damn damn! Glad you're otherwise ok matey.

Just realised that your original post was a few months back! My apologies. I just read the first page & jumped right in haha. Never like to hear of anyone having "offs"!
