(Target and Wal-Mart sell a couple bikes that require a thinner 700c tire but don't sell the tubes for it? WTF?))
I'm gonna visit my LBS tomorrow and get a proper patch kit. And some better tire levers. And something else I'm sure. GAWD, it's like a candy store!
Yeah, same here. Candy store with little resistant from me. I hardly ever walk out a LBS without buying something
Forgot to mention. Patches works better if the tube are sanded with the included sand paper in the patch kit. I never bought Walmart patches and if they include a sand paper or not?
