Your pump sux0rs?? The smooth ones are the best, don't have to twist it so hard to get it (pump head) off. No Jokes kthx.
To be honest, sometimes I like it, gives me a chance to ride alone for a while and check out the scenery, instead of a 100's of lycra clad a$$es.
Come out to next saturdays FFL ride, starts at kipling station 60km.
Maybe my bike is trying to tell me something.
Tire getting too worn out?
