Blew a tire hitting a curb. I don’t mean I got a flat, I mean I BLEW A TIRE. POW!
I was on my way to a meeting… fortunately I had time to change the tire. Unfortunately, I only had a 650c tube and it was my 24″ front tube that blew. I crammed this extra big tube into the tire and hoped it would hold. Got me to my meeting, and back home… stopped at SpeedyReedy to get new tubes before I got home.
I also worked a little on Tylers new bike tonight… which mostly means I got to set up my new RED RIM… which Tyler bought for me for working on his bike. Slapped it on the Shogun… it looks SWEEEEEEET… Pictures soon.

Two different sized wheels - yep, that’d be a problem then! The bigger question is what you were doing to hit the curb had enough to blow the tyre. Now be honest Brad, were you wearing the Zappoman outfit again, and just seeing if you could go fast enough to get that cape to billow out behind you properly?
