Confession: I dread having to change a tire. My ham-fisted, lizard-brain mechanical abilities means that, yes, I CAN change a tire (probably, maybe, hopefully), I just hope that I don't have to...

yes, good friends have demonstrated proper technique, the boys at the LBS have demonstrated proper technique but I still dread having to change one.

That said, I've got several in the garage that need to be swapped out on the boys' bikes so I guess I'll get to practice (and swear) and then look fondly at my Specialized Armadillos that haven't flatted yet.
