Like most, you probably get lots of flats while training for cross. For you that either means lots of tubes, or lots of patches on a few tubes. This morning my friend Mike was patching a tube before our xmas-eve ride, and I noticed all the (5) patches on his tube had been cut in half. Why? Double your number of patches, save cash, and shave some weight buy cutting them in half. So pro.
Oh, and ride with egg nog in your water bottle!

riding with clinchers is pro? Sha.
Riding with clinchers: pro.
Racing with clinchers: not pro.
The Stan’s System is pro.
I think you are on Stan’s payroll. Have you raced tubulars?
No and I also hate Egg nog……..
Wait, isn’t that the same set of wheels you laid the wood to me with? Yeah I reconize those, maybe you’re on to something.
Egg Nog = the Holiday Choco Milk recovery drink on steroids…
mmm… Egg Nog
I love the clincher debate here. Erm… how do you patch your tubulars? Or do you just chuck them? If you do, I can provide a postal address to someone who’s happy to put (half or full) patches on them and keep / ebay them….
