I’ve been riding my Grand Jubile to work every morning for the last several days while I wait for some parts so I can do a minor overhaul on my daily driver the Surly LHT.
The Grand Jubile went through mild overhaul / restoration with lot of new parts and what I consider to be some upgrades .
One of these upgrades was a set of wheels with Phil Hubs and a set of visually very nice looking Specialized Expedition tires .
I cant help but think that even though these tires look fine they are indeed 35 years old ... and I’ve been putting miles on them like crazy for the last couple of weeks ...
the question in my mind now is when will they give up the ghost ? Or can I pull a Kramer and keep driving on empty regardless of what my better judgement tells me..
