    Default Hey gunchie..............

    could have sent a private message but thought i would post for everyone to see..............

    a big thanks to you for pointing out that the tube i was carrying in my pack was the wrong kind. as i tried to let you use it and the valve was schrader and you needed presta. AS I THINK ABOUT IT, THE BIKE I WAS ON HAS PRESTA RIMS ALSO, so that tube was useless to myself also...... (thinks to myself, duh genius.)

    a simple mistake that could have even worse potential on longer trail rides.

    just thought others would get a laugh maybe and take that extra second to think about what you really need on the ride yer headed out on.
    the wheels on my bike go round and round......

    Yeah, I was kind of wondering that myself because I saw you had presta on your XTC. No biggie, I've made the same mistake myself.

    Another thing to check is the pump you carry with you. I realized mine didn't work for me the hard way after carrying it around for a couple months.

    also, if you ride both 26 and 29. I've even grabbed my seatpack with a road tube in it. Easiest thing to carry is a presta tube, as it will fit both valve holes in a pinch...
    ANYTHING can be fixed...how badly do you want it?
