Floyd !

I'm still too giddy. I'll talk about Floyd soon.

In the meantime.........

Sew-ups. If another pinch-assed Fred comes along and disses the merits of sew-ups, all the while referring to them as 'tubulars'....I'm gonna blow.

And I quote: "But they still are a PITA to mount and a royal, raging hemorrhoid to repair. And you can't do it on the road so you have to carry a whole spare tubular tire. There's even a traditional method for folding the spare tire so it can be lashed under your saddle with the sticky glued side tucked away in the middle and the tread on the outside, protecting the entire bundle."

Noob hater.

Buy a Rema Tip Top green patch kit. Put into patch kit, (a) 2 feet of ribbon type waxed dental floss, (b) 1 heavy sewing needle, (c) a chunk of razor (take a safety razor blade, put a pair of pliers on a corner of it, bend and snap off a 5mm 'chunk' of blade)

Next time you pop a tire (tyre for the EuroTrashies reading) use the razor to slice the fucking threads, pull out the section of punctured tube, patch, stuff in, and sew up with said dental floss and needle. Re-stick and pump up and go.

What's the problem?
I'm here to help
