well,
this past sunday was the death of my back tire.
friday i had gone to a freinds house and changed out my brake pads.
saturday was a leisurely day for me for the sake of being well rested for sundays grueling steamboat ride that we had to re-schedule.
last minute pre's were in play and i finally went to check the pressures on the tires before leaving.
front.....fine
rear....2.5# WTH????
a little rolling of the tire showed the culprit.
a small chunk of steel that is so small that i don't think i could photograph it.
what a bummer.
so as it sits now i await the dealer to open on tuesday so i can order a new rear tire.
i will leave the front on for my ride back home(mostly interstate) because i only have 3000 miles on these tires.
i will of course as usual plug the tire and use it for around town (off season)commuting.
so in regards to this tread.
i love 'em and will stick with them for this season.
next year....who knows????
