Default Got a Flat
I just put a new front tire on recently and picked up a nail. Slow leak so no problems getting it home. Since I balanced the tire last time, I just marked the tire where the valve stem / tire met so to speak. The change took 30 mins at a slow pace and now I have the tire ready to put on the bike. I just want to give it a hour or so before putting it back on.

I swear doing tires using the nylon zip ties and the tire changer is so easy, I wish I had got one years ago. After I was done, I "unlocked" the zip ties with a flathead screwdriver and they are reusable!

Zip tie method.
