Way to go MacGyver! And if it did start raining I'm sure you'd figure out how to convert the old tube and nail into an umbrella of sorts.
MacGyver indeed - I have no idea how you made a presta adapter with a valve cap but that was brilliant. I want a picture! I spent the ride switching between watching the skies and my rear tire. I was sure it was going to go flat and determined to get to the office before the rain started. Both worked!
