Popular Post smudge Posted February 22, 2020 Popular Post Share #3 Posted February 22, 2020 Don't know how far my snowshoeing went in the state land. Stupid GPS couldn't find me. I'll say a mile for now. I will stomp the fatbike trail and pull the drag sled. The temp is 43°, so that should work out pretty well! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySTL Posted February 22, 2020 Share #7 Posted February 22, 2020 WoJSTL and I just got done walking 5 miles on a breezy 53°F day. Quite a change from walking 5 miles on a cruise ship in 85°F warmth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupw Posted February 23, 2020 Share #8 Posted February 23, 2020 38 miles on the roadie. 50 degrees at the start but windy. Able to ride with shorts and a light base layer under my jersey. I will take that in February! I got my 3rd fastest time on 1 segment. Kind of surprised because the wind wasn’t THAT good on the push. It’s very open there so wind is a factor for everyone. My PR (2nd all time) and the guy with KOM happened on the same day. I would like to see what weather conditions were that day! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to ride as well with 50o+ weather, but got my first FLAT in a few years Luckily, I was right next to a rest area when I heard the thap-thap--thap and felt the tire go soft. Chatted with a woman pulling her pups in a Burley as I changed the tube and re-inflated with a CO2 cartridge. These are old tires (circa 2013), so I think a seven year run with them is a "fair" lifespan I have to see if the tire is actually damaged too much or still good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just seen you pics on Strava I've used duck tape as an internal tire patch before, and that works very well. The tube will not go thru that.

I carry a strip of packaging envelope for booting a tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tube will not go thru that. Yeah - they're my "winter" tires on my spare wheelset, but I have some Conti 4-seasons that can go on there instead. The tread is still good, and likely only 3k miles on them as I don't put them on until winter, and take them off in spring. But that was a BIG ass piece of stick. No idea where it was lurking, but it happened as I crossed a road, so could have been in the gutter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually all in on the 4000s, now the 4000 II, but haven't hit the 5000s yet. The 4 season are a nice option between the gatorskins and the 4000/5000 line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkpow Posted February 23, 2020 Share #16 Posted February 23, 2020 If I didn't carry a bag of some sort or other on both bikes, I'd probably put the emergency boot material inside the tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
