    You're very welcome! Hope you got your tires pumped up.

    Gosh, Zen, I'd rather not imagine that.

    Yikes, MDHS, I got so wrapped up in the Presta/Schrader thing that I totally forgot to include this step.

    Sigh, now I'm trying to figure out obscene versions

    I also have a road morph... and it works better than my Joe Blow which doesn't seem to want to work on either valve kind (I've got Presta, Schrader and I think Woods ... variety is the spice of life!)

    Sorry, I'm listening to the newest Barenaked Ladies and I don't want to turn it off to retrieve that version out of my head. It had something to do with exchanging something besides glances.

    Maybe later!
