Hmm, maybe I'll try some shoe goo and the dollar trick. I have backups on the way but to toss a tire with 44 miles on it hurts a little on the inside.

If the hole is large enough to require a boot, you will want to put a patch on the inside of tire.

Woke up at 5 to go for a ride this morning.
Best decision I have made in a long time.

I'm probably exaggerating on how bad this is...here's a quick photo. The hole is right beneath the flag. Thoughts?

Today is going to be a good day.

are those CC hubs?! Beaaauuuutfulllll

Chris King.

Pretty and musical. What are you going to put disc brakes on?

Those aren't disc hubs. I'm building them up for a friend's Allez EVO.

I couldn't personally bring myself to drop 6 bills on a hubset. And I'd be damn sure they came with some mother ****ing skewers at that price.

There is a set of ck to wide kinlins on cl for 575

Which KinLins?

Never mind me, I swore I could see the disc bolt bumps on it.

Still pretty though.

Can't really tell from the photo how bad it is (apparently I can't even distinguish a disc brake hub.) but cuts on the sidewall are usually more serious than ones on the thread surface. The sidewalls are usually a lot thinner and flex a lot more.

Didn't say, I didn't really care when I was skimming through CL. I was just looking at random stuff, and they popped up, so I clicked it.

Good job. :thumb:

I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and kiss it goodbye. Thems the breaks.

Thanks :)
I'm probably going to try again soon, and leave earlier, because I didn't have time to get all the way to the top before I needed to turn around and head to school.

Today I went to the range for the first time with my father to learn to shoot. I have only ever fired a shotgun. It was exciting to use his new AR-15 rifles. Needless to say:

Today I had gotten all psyched for a rain ride and didn't get rained on....

Da hell? Were you shooting a 20 pound 18 gauge?
Pretty damn sure just about any shotgun is gonna have a lot more kick than an AR-15. What rounds were you shooting?

Browning Citori with bird shot. 12 guage


AR-15 with 5.56x45
but I don't know anything about guns, so that is all I can say

And that kicked less than an AR-15? .223?

Seems so

from what I can recall, the shotgun would kick straigh back while the rifle recoil would jerk me a bit and move the barrel up. Maybe having the shotgun already aiming up reduced that upward recoil.
