Some days are like that. While I don't think I've had to abort a ride because of compounding issues, a few times I've had to "return to base" to fix something and start over. And plenty of times that I have performed unscheduled maintenance just before a ride.

Although, in the OP's case, I check the weather forecasts the night before a ride and pay close attention to forecast wind. In this case, the 35 mm wheel could have been checked and prepared the night before. But hind-sight is 20/20.

Nevada, starting a ride at 8 am in the summer! Heck, I live in Albuquerque, and I'm trying to finish my rides by 9 am when possible. And on the hottest days, I'll be on the road before sunup.
