Somehow, I managed to hit a rusted box cutter blade that was laying in my path yesterday. It cut right through my Rubino Pro and tube (what are the freaking odds?!?). Fortunately, only a three block walk to nearest LBS.
Pi$$ed, and anxious to get back to my ride, I forgot to line up the label and stem. With every fiber of my being, I'm trying to resist the urge to remount the tire, but I know deep in my soul . . . those . . . things . . . must . . . line . . . up.
