I got a flat in my ride yesterday; my spare interior was a misfit and had no glue for the repair kit

Wheels of Happiness

Angono, Rizal | March 28, 2014

I rode up to Antipolo yesterday using the Fuji bike with Cosmic aero wheels;  unfortunately at CICM, I got a flat.  I had spare interior with 50 mm Schrader valve.  It would not protude out of the rim.  I had to have the damaged interior vulcanized at a shop nearby.  I paid him P20.00 but he used my dry patch.  I could not repair the flat because I did not have the glue.  I was up and going after 15 minutes.

I finished my climb to Antipolo.

Lesson:   I must buy a spare interior with 55 mm valve;  and buy repair kit with glue
