Tire Boot on Bear Creek
Another warm yet dry afternoon here in Colorado Rockies. Decided to do the same Bear Creek loop that I enjoyed with friends recently. Riding alone I was able to cut out some time. Too bad time wasn’t the only thing to get cut today. A sharp rock cut the side-wall of my new rear tire as I was descending. Soon enough, it was nearly flat. Stopping to pump it, I prayed it would hold. A mile or so later, it was flat again. No problem, I’ll just throw a tube in that tubeless tire along with a boot to ensure the tube doesn’t protrude.
Oh, wait, no tire boot! Remember I lost the contents of my seat-bag a couple days ago? Ya, well, I was able to get most things from Absolute replaced yesterday but they were out of boots. Figures! Good thing I had one of those power-gel things. Emptying its contents into my gullet, I installed the home-made boot and tube and continued on my merry way. Sweet!
Completing the ride, I felt the need to eat; it happens. Riding home after gorging at Moonlight Pizza, that rear tire sprung a leak that would not hold. Pshh, pshh, pshh, pshh with every rotation. Guess that gel packet would only last so long; the tube had blown out at the same tear in the side-wall. So much for that fix, a new tire it is.
