"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"So, other than the flat how's the tire riding??

It's flat-out ama... um, I mean it is astoundingly amazing. It took absolutely NO adjustment or altering my riding style, in any way that I can tell.So, other than the flat how's the tire riding??
jeez, get with the times and use pure Nitrogen, then its all the same density and you don't have to be bothered with changing it periodically.This what happens when the air isn't changed out on a regular schedule, I change the air every 6000 miles so it doesn't get layered from the centrifugal force. That keeps a uniform density all around the tire. When it isn't changed regular the heavy parts sink when it is parked and can make it shake for a while
You do know regular old air is about 78% nitrogen anyway, so those of you paying for Nitrogen are only paying for about 22%.Costco has N at "air" pumps but only while their tire centers are open.
I haven't tried to huff it, but I bet it's a mix.
They had to start taking the hoses off the pumps at night, guess people were stealing hoses or cutting them?
That's why we can't have nice things.
Noes N make your voice get higher like He?
My dentist asked once if I wanted helium instead of nitrous oxide. I asked if it lessened the pain better. She replied it did nothing for the pain, but when I screamed it would sound hilarious.No, but the manager at the local Helium Factory speaks very highly of you...
but when I screamed it would sound hilarious.
I feel your pain.About 1200 miles on this new CT... I have the worst luck with new tires!
Nitrogen doesn't change your voice.Noes N make your voice get higher like He?
I think you're a winner... that 'L' extension probably too much weight, you can see the stem a little off center.Check the valve stem. I got a flat too on my CT, but the BF Goodrich Comp-2 has such stiff side walls that I was able to ride home 40 miles on 1 psi.....
I put in a new valve and all was good.
Considered that, and checked the valve stem yesterday... but that was before we were able to get it on the centerstand.I think you're a winner... that 'L' extension probably too much weight, you can see the stem a little off center.
I have a small old- style inflator at home, but all the tire stores and even pay-for-air stations only have the long straight ones, with the pressure indicator built in.I never understood the angled stems.
Good to know. I always carry my own compressor so I have never had any need for a service station compressor.I have a small old- style inflator at home, but all the tire stores and even pay-for-air stations only have the long straight ones, with the pressure indicator built in.
They won't get under the brake disks.
Just spitballing here; however I would hazard a guess that it was flat due to a lack of air...So what caused your flat tire??
