So I had to cut my ride short and all I had was 5 miles in. Guess I'll have to ride my road bike until the valve gets repaired.

I have had a presta snap too - SO frustrating! Do you carry a spare tire? Did you walk home 5 miles? That'd be one heck of a walk in road bike shoes !! Good thing you weren't on your road bike!

I have a presta to sage converter in my seat bag - I wonder if they work after a presta valve snaps???
