Problem solved

I've already been through two stages in this issue.

First, I put the Michelin out back and my sweet Specialized Chunder up front. It was supposed to stay that way, but that's when my dad said he'd give me his front Chunder too, so I could put in on my bike.
So, problem solved, I've got the best tyre I've ever rode up front and out back.


Specialized rubber rules \m/




That said, when this tests wave ends (school), I'm getting myself a little present... It may be some "more Specialized" for my bike, or something for my head...


Cheers

Specialized Flat Boy

Remember the old trash box from PortalBTT? It's back!

Today is the Flat Boy review!

Usually these kind of sticker patches are bad but this was back in 2000. Perhaps somebody reinvented the sticker formula through the years and i decided to give them a second chance.


Specialized Flat Boy:
4.5€, box 1"x1", 1 sandpaper, 6 patches, ??g


Very light on the jersey pocket but pricey. I can easily buy 4 tubes but 4 tubes vs. 6 patches? I have my doubts.

Well, i tried them at home (i discovered a flat tire before going out) and this is very easy and fast to recover a pinched tube. You only have to remove the tube, sanding the puncture area, clean it, stick it, place it on the wheel and, here is the secret, inflate the tire with more pressure than usual and of you go!
These patches are flexible from zero km to many km. They do stretch a little bit and are fine for patch thorns and small holes on your tubes. Congratulations for this product, Specialized!
