    Yeah, have been running for years. Pretty much since it was NoTube stripes. Still I guess not sure how to set it up properly. HaHa. Just been having some flat problems lately. Including yesterday. Another funny one is when you carry a spare tube you should make sure that there are no holes in it.

    Whoops thought you were talking about Jeff there. False alarm, @Spokes McJeff!

    Oof. I know that struggle. @Mikie you have to be careful saying stuff like that... the curse might pass to you!
