ITP 589's

Postby Mr. Miyagi » Sat Oct 01, 2005 9:33 pm

Just a short note to say the plugs for repairing tires while out on the trail work great (and IMO are invaluable). I got about a 1" tear near the bead and a separate hole in one of my rear tires. It looks like something went in one end and out the other....

Three (that's right... THREE) plugs in one hole and one plug on another hole for a total of four plugs in one tire....... I was able to ride another 25 miles back to camp (with a few pump up's along the way). I'm totally sold..... I'll post a couple of pic's in the next couple of days.

Two weeks ago, one hour into the ride my Boss drilled a BOULDER in the MIDDLE of a smooth dirt trail. Blew out the side wall and flatened the wheel.. after 18 plugs and a 32oz bottle of slime we rode the rest of the day and it's sitting in the shop right now and it still holds air. By the way Napa sells the best plugs 50 of them for 9 bucks.

Actually according to Chadds math that was only $3.24 if they only cost 9 bucks for 50. . . glad you do not work up front at the bank. . .

Big Wheel racing, was a 16th Street on Sunday.

There was one time..Chuck and I unloaded all the boxes for 16th Street and we noticed Balloons in the rafters from a party on Friday or Saturday. So we strategized, on how to get them down. We decided that cold, would bring them down, so we grabbed a fire extinguisher and shot 'em.

One problem...it was a powder extinguisher. White dust....EVERYWHERE.

We cleaned it, and left the 1/2 empty extinguisher.

And then they really had a fire a few weeks later, and watched as the person using the extinguisher ran out after one spray. . .
