I put it in anyway and was able to get home - guess I need to check the contents next time.

Didn't ride in today as my wife has a long morning appt on Thurs. for the next couple of months, so I stay home a watch the kids and then she brings me in to work. However,I hated not riding today since it is so nice here - I think I will start just riding in on these days anyway - a late night ride home will be nice for a change with the roads nice and clear and quiet!
Hmm.
I thought one could use smaller sized tubes. It just means the tube will stretch further and may be easier to puncture.


No commute today. Took a the day off due to feeling sick.
