On 2006-02-26, monsterman (aka Bruce)
was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea:
Quoted message said:nasty blowout this morning - took a nail at speed and was quite lucky to
keep it upright - instant deflation and nasty hook tear in the casing.
I wonder if the "vectran belt" is guaranteed against rusty bent nails??
I was just fixing tires.
I didn't do BR this morning partly because I am tired, but mostly
because late lastnight, half an hour after pumping the tires up to
135PSI, I heard an psssssssssshhhhht. A cut about 8mm wide was
bulging a little, and had obviously worn the tube. These tires have
~3000km on them, and the rear one is starting to look a little square
-- rubino pro folding tires from pbk. Won't be replacing with them
again.
Quoted message said:Damn shame as it had almost 4,500km on it, and still had plenty of life
left in it according to the tread wear indicators. Time to make a PBK
order. I run the silver ones. Might buy a gold and run a mis-matched
pair. could call that one a "quinella" or "one/two".
You in Melbourne? I just put an email alert to see when the black
23mm ones are going to be in stock, although there is one tanned skin
one left. Dunno whether that will look too mismatched 🙂
