Apparently, I Screwed Up!

...and improperly blended Winter air with existing Summer air AND in different ratios. Boy did I pay for that on yesterday's ride

I thought, with the weather in the 60s, I could just top off the rear tire with whatever air was currently available, so I pumped that up to 90psi. My front tire had been topped off a few days prior with much cooler air, but I like that tire to be a touch softer, so I left it alone (no new air).

Well, that was apparently a poor choice. Now, the rear and the front air blends are way out of sync. I may have to take the extreme measure of fully deflating BOTH tires and starting fresh with the air currently available. This may not end well   Of course, I am also about to swap on my "Winter wheelset & tires", so that may fix or it may complicate things. Time will tell.

For a quick fix you might try swapping the front and the rear tyres and tubes, taking care to keep the fubar airs within them.

On a totally unrelated topic, my front wheel cuts the nipple on my schrader type tubes. I've had the wheel on the bike for like 5-6 years and this cutting situation has only risen during the last couple of years.

You and SW been reading the same joke books?

Just get two of these

and one of these 

 

and a few of these

 

And build a balancing line.  Hook it up between the front and rear tires and they will self balance.  Due this before each ride.

Negative. Don't start picking on me like you pick on him, I won't tolerate it like he does you know.

Definitely take due caution. You could have a moderate high speed blow out.

I love the cover.  "Not Funny!  Learn the 3 simple steps to being amusing on forums."  I'm guessing that if they can't boil that down to 1 simple step it won't work for you.

You didn't read that first book.  Turning to the last page and reading the ending does not count.
