WHY, AFTER 5 TUBES, PATCH KIT, 6 CO2 CARTRIDGES, A COTTON BALL, TWEEZERS, AND SOME 4 LETTER WORDS, IS MY TIRE STILL GOING FLAT???????
I had a flat tire (see a prev blog) about a month ago and my tire/wheel has not been the same. I have taken it apart, taken it in, taken it out for dinner, taken it for ice cream, and now I'm just going to take it to the junk yard.
It's a pretty new tire so I don't want to REALLY spend another $60 on another! I have ridden on it a few times and it has made it thru the ride but by the next morning, it's flat again. This last Sunday's ride turned into a 7 hour ordeal for 70 miles. And the times that we were riding, we were riding at a pretty good clip. But every 20 min or so I had to stop for air. GRRRRR.
Then I find out my OTHER BIKE IS FLAT TOO!!! What's the dealio????
I must be riding over glass in my sleep and sabotaging my bikes. I have a race this weekend and I have never been in a race and gotten a flat but I guess I better prepare for it. It seems like this is what's in store for me.
I have learned a GREEN thing thru all of this... your co2 and tubes ARE recycleable. YAY! Too bad you can't refill them like propane.
hmm... propane tires......
so changed tubes again, tire, and found a tiiiiny piece of metal.. thought it was over.
ReplyDeletethen nope.. still went flat.. urgh.
bought rim tape. I'll try that..
