Started off as a great ride. Perfect weather, felt good. So I decided to take a new, longer route to work. As I was looking for street names for my navigation, I hit a rather large pothole. Jarred my wrists and my butt quite good. I thought I would get a pinch flat. Nothing odd, so I kept riding. About a mile later, my rear wheel went flat.

I pulled off the road, and started my repair, when I noticed a crack in my rim. UGH! I had to cut my other planned extensions short as I was out of time, and was now dirty from the repair process.

I still am a strong believer in the latex gloves for the chain mess. But I found, latex gloves stain the spare tube really well, and I am not sure what other damage comes of it. So keep the gloves away from the spare tube.
