hmmmmm, that wheel is already in my car for tomorrow. Well, I don't even have a tube (I don't think), I owe it to myself to run by the LBS tomorrow. They can change the tube - or figure out what happened, for not much money and do it much faster. Assuming my glutes won't be too sore for riding tomorrow, I hit them VERY hard this morning, so hard that they are getting my attention.

I do wonder if it sitting for 6 months made it more likely to fail due to not being used? That tube, however, was changed very late last summer so it isn't even a year old. No matter, I will get it checked out.
