i blew out my tire last night, semi on purpose, I mean i put the tire on with the intent of skidding the hell out of it, but I forgot I usually have a 16t cog, and switched to the 14, which gave me the one skid spot, and I realized this as i was skidding down a huge hill, seconds before all the air blew out of my tire. that's the second hole for this tire though, first was a week ago when I ran over glass, the hole was mostly on the side though so i fixed it with a needle, thread, and a little super glue. then this one i covered with about 5 layers of duct tape from the inside, and then folded a dollar bill into 4ths and layed it over the hole too. I rode it to work this morning with no problems, but it's only pumped up to 80psi for now,
I always knew about the 1/3 ratio, but for whatever reason, I never took the time to think about it, and i think in the back of my head I always thought that the 1/3 gave you 3 skid spots, until I was riding down that hill like i said, haha, oh well, tire is green too, it looks so sweet on my bike
