Much of it ...Dana, thanks for your advice on tires. Much of it was lost on me because I don't really buy tires, I just dig them out of the garbage and give them another shot at life. I still have a few choice, though old, tires from my bike shop days decades ago. The bits about booting tires, though, and of course the video, were right up my alley! <br /><br />I thought I'd share one of my booting experiences. I was looking for a long-term solution, so I thought I'd try metal--that's right, metal. I cut up a pop can, lined the edges with duct tape or something, and stuck it in there. I was amazed at how quickly it failed--I think I only got a week or two out of it! When one of my tires finally wears out, I usually cut some sidewall out of it for boots. The cycle of life.
