When I ran singles in the 90s, all I knew of was the red contact cement stuff... the whole process was an epic PITA. Punctures were a nightmare; another $25 for another second-hand tyre.

Can't believe those crazy wheels were the only set I had for my only bike.


Oh wait...

I just remembered how they rode.
