Glad I didn't look too closely at this tire before I went out yesterday. I think I got most of what that thing had to give.

It's sort of a PITA replacing stuff on our older bikes. But the thought in my head each time is: "THAT is something I won't have to do again for (quite) a while." At some point you do get to that magic place where everything that's going to go wrong for a while has, and you can just ride.

I'm a big fan of LED headlights and highway lights. Primarily for how they light things up. But secondarily for the amp savings.

Cop told him to get it fixed before he started back to NC. Brother just flipped on the Brights and away he went.................

Safety first, that's me. I change out the rear tire once a year whether it needs it or not!

Looks like it. I don't think it went all the way through. I haven't put air in that tire since September, and it's still holding pressure just fine.
