Well, just a little.
I got a flat tire.
Flat.
Tire.
Flat Tire.
There, that should help the search engines.
So anyways, I was still using that twelve year old tube in the front tire so I guess it got tired and stopped working.
This is like only the second time I've had to change a road bike tire on the actual road.
Okay, not really.
The part about being on the road I mean.
I was actually at sitting on a concrete bench, looking out over Kailua beach, the same place this was taken:
That's pretty much how it looked today, only less clouds.
Well, I got the tube all changed, used the pump to get things started, then got out the ole bottled air.
The leaky bottled air.
The first cartridge I used, leaked snow all over itself.
The second one leaked too, only not as bad, I managed to get like eighty pounds in there.
So I figured, well, I'll just use the ole pump to top it off!
Wrong!
The pump apparently is not made for high pressure for I blew the hose out.
So I limped over the LBS and borrowed a pump.
I would have taken some pics, but I was in a rush.
Oh, The Flat Tire:
Like you, the reader, have never seen one of those before.
Well here's something I've never seen before:
Let's see, what's missing there?
Some crazy TT bike sans seat post.
The white tab is for the derailleur hanger.
I don't know if I'd feel comfortable going over bumps on that thing.
Then, there's this:
No, not the girl, she looks normal to me.
Check out the bike, the cranks:
I'm not sure what the hell is going on there.
Really.
If you are so inclined to find out, here's the link to Dashbike.
If you watch the video, let me know what it's all about.
I mean I already have a hard time figuring out if I'm coming or going.
