Apparently this is not how one patches a tire
by Chem007Â Â Â Â Â Â www.reddit.com
I recently got a patch kit because it was cheap and near the check out stand. I didn’t have a spare tube on this ride. I thought I was riding tubeless so I didn’t think to even check (this was my first mistake). No internet in the mountains and no instructions in the kit so this was my best guess. Rode the remaining 35 miles on this with top speeds of…

Riders and Their Rigs : Daniel Curtin’s Trek Boone
texasbikeracing.com
Trek’s Boone CX bike is a marriage of their redesigned cyclocross geometry first seen in their Crockett aluminum cross bike and the vibration damping decoupler seen on the Domane road bike. Compared to prior offerings from the Waterloo, WI brand, steering is much more nimble and the overall feel of the bike is more race-oriented. Stands to reason as Katie Compton had design input on the Crockett and she…

Road Trip To Corpus Christi For Conquer The Coast
Cycling Space City
Decided to break out from Houston and get some riding in a new area of Texas by doing the Conquer The Coast ride in Corpus Christi. The 65 mile course is a loop from downtown Corpus Christi through Port Aransas, Mustang Island, and back through Corpus Christi. The ride included a ferry ride to get us from Aransas Pass to Port Aransas (a first for me on a ride). The weather report had me worried the ride would get cancelled due to lightning ,but we ended up with just a slight shower that lasted about 10-15 minutes, on a…
