Thanks for the compliment and the advice.

I will eventually send it off to TireAlert for a new tube. I've fixed a few tubulars myself and decided my time was worth more than that!

In fact, I will be ordering some new tires for the Gazelle I am building up. My current choice for wheels is older GP4's which I will string up onto first-gen Shinano hubs, then Veloflex Criteriums.

But yeah, every time I ride tubulars, especially to work, I think how I'm risking another TireAlert fee.

Sometimes it catches up with you.
