Well…after giving up on the F1 race from Monaco since it was just another “follow the leader” parade that the announcers tried to turn into a race by showing the 4th and 5th place cars following each other for lap after lap, I got on the bike for the 2nd ride and noticed a huge vibration when I got down he hill to the trail…so I stopped to figure it out and the front tire had failed in two places leaving 2 bulges in the tread…so I turned around and came back here to fix it remembering that I had a used tire with 1/4th tread that I had taken off the rear last year…so with 15 minutes of work, I was back on the bike and got a nice 2nd ride in and I think that one will last until I get a new tire this week…but damn, the prices of the tires I buy have gone from 24 bucks to 35 bucks each thanks to the idiot’s tariffs…I really had to think when I last replaced the front tire and I think this is the only hybrid tire I’ve had on the front since I replaced the knobbies with them…and that would make it at least 7 years old with over 40K miles on it…that seems like a lot of miles since I only get about 8K out of the rears but the inside of the rim looked pristine so maybe that’s true…and the entire tread of the tire was cracked and falling apart so who knows? This is the 3rd day of peace and quiet up here and it is just so damn nice to not hear the assholes in the rental…
