...if there was consternation involved, I'd think the last thing you'd want would be shutting off the flow. I mean, all that **** has to come out somewhere. :eek: #assplosion

So.. in running tubes, I've had two slow leaks this week, (front wheel) replaced the tubes, I have a third in there now and it's flat, (Yes I completely inspected the rim & tire for debris, didn't pinch the tube, yada, yada, yada...)I left the presta valve knob open, I guess it can be normal for the valve to slowly leak?

No questions asked. I tell you, say what you will about performance but their return policy is incredible.

I just did some insurance shopping and I'm quite pleased. I currently have the state minimum required liability only. I found a policy with higher coverage including comprehensive and collision for $20 LESS a month. I've been getting screwed!

Ugh. Major hassle/fiasco. My wife booked flights online for us to Seville (Spain) on a site I don't know well, called justfly.com. The prices looked great. We put in our credit card info. Apparently the company tried to charge our credit card TWICE (9 seconds apart). The bank called us and we said to let the first one go through but not the second. So we now are told by justfly that the bank declined our charge and they won't give us our tickets. I wasted lots of time on the phone with their call center explaining that the card was declined because they tried to charge us TWICE, and that ONE of the charges was approved. They said that they did not get any payment (apparently it has been approved but not "posted" which takes 2-3 days) and asked us to give our credit card again so they can charge it again. I am NOT comfortable with that, so it sounds like I will have to dispute the charge once it's posted unless the stupid ticket agent figures out the screwup.

Anyone have an experience like this? Certainly not the customer service I am used to from Performance Bike....

the things that have caused me the most flats are rogue steel wire strands

half the time theyd give me repeated flats or slow leaks until i took the tire off completely, turned it inside out and flexed it around in weird ways till i found it.

those little ****** like to hide.
