WK Veldrijden 2012
Tech Sunday
I tried patching a latex tube with latex for the first time today. Latex tubes are cool because they are lighter and less prone to pinch-flatting that butyl tubes. But they are expensive and kind of finicky, and I never had luck patching them with normal patches.

Puncture came from a slashed tire sidewall, I think. It was a sudden loud POP. |

Donor tube. |

Two layers of tube for patch. Cleaned mating surfaces with acetone then applied rubber cement. |

Et voila. So far so good. |

Ruts n Guts, Oct 19/20/21
I just wanted to give you a heads up if you want to get the word out. Ruts n Guts is set up for October the 19, 20 and 21st. It’s a 3 day weekend race with $23,000 In payouts. We are also adding an Omnium this year as well. Lots of cool give aways and even giving away 2 kids bikes a night for 14 and under. So spread the word and I will get you a flyer asap. You can also see the details at RutsandGuts.com
I've heard great things about this event. Minimal drive time (Tulsa) for some great racing. Top-notch talent was out there last year, including Steve Tilford, Chris Drummond, and Bryan Fawley, and it should be even better this year. Solid fields in all categories.
