The Street > The Bike Shop
What did you do to your bike today? (v2)
ralph wiggum:
I had a Carlos kind of night. Was going to go for a ride on the DB24 and discovered the front tire was flat. Drove to the bike shop and got a tube. Installed the tube and headed out. Made it a little over a mile before I heard a hiss hiss hiss coming from the back end. Ran over a fucking nail just long enough to puncture the tire/tube. Since the puncture was so tiny I was able to make it home before it went completely flat. Went back to the shop and bought two tubes, installed the rear tube and decided to drink beer instead of going for a ride.

I feel ya, that's how it is down here in Mexico sometims! I threw away so many tubes back in the day before I realized patching works great.

I only patch in an emergency. Whenever I'd try to patch to save a tube and continue riding it, the patch would always fail at the most inopportune time. Yet I had friends that could run tubes with a dozen different patches and never have any of the patched areas fail. :dunno:
