I spent $100 in the shop of a man who did me a great service two years ago. He did me a great service again by pointing out that one front brake pad was not fully on the rim.This bike really would do better with 27" wheels. I left, and did a little shopping, and the rear tire blew out while parked. Tube and tire. Brand new Vittoria Open Pave. This is how I wear out tires. I sat down and pulled out the new tube I'd just bought. Shrader valve. I was a couple blocks from my daughter's house, and walked over to make the call of shame.Two new gatorskins incoming and three new tubes.The second hundred dollars.Supposed to arrive Saturday.
