Took my TT bike out for perhaps a final spin of the year. Had some rough days at home and work, so was hoping this would make up for it. I was feeling absolutely great and having a ride when I flatted a tubular....again. Figures I'd flat. I was starting to have an amazing ride, perhaps better than anything I've done on at a race. Pop. Nope. |

| Yeah, it really hurts- I went back to bed(it happened at 5:30AM)& couldn't get the blankie up over me. I have to watch a friend's kid for most of the day & the wife is also tied up- I will be hitting the X-ray shop ASAP

Do folks carry a spare tire pre-glued (or, what is it, taped?) tucked under their seat that they can put on to continue riding? |

spade, you need a set of clincher trainers.

I drank the big wheel cool aid and haven't touched a 26in wheel since. |

| | Registered User | | | | | I like rigids, full sus is for suspect performance, skill-wise,: ) Rigid is definitely more fun imo. Solid looking bike, Fisher I've read lot's about but have no 'on time' marker, I've never had the chance to ride one, cool ; )

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Lincoln, NE | | | There is a place for full susp in gravity/DH/AM racing. Those helmet cam videos give me vertigo most of the time so I'll probably never have the need of a full boinger. I never rode a full suspension XC bike that I liked so I'll stick to hardtails. I'm a bad climber as is(since I'm a big dude) so wagon wheeld hardtails are my bike of choice for XC. |
