Can you say, "ABC Quick-Check?"
... I knew you could!...
I put a pair of Continental GatorSkin slicks on my Cross-Check last night, sparing the cross-country tires for cross-country ridng, and she feels almost like a new bike ;-)
but yeah... check your tires, brakes, ddrivetrain, and quick releases before every ride. I was stretching things, just trying to see how many miles I could get out of a set of tires about three years ago, when I had to do a quick stop to avoid an errant wrong-way rider. Skidded the back tire just enough to peel off the last micromillimeter of rubber, and flatted the tire. Long walk home, since a hole that big was tough to boot ;-)
