I took advantage of the summer-like warmth and a random Thursday off work to ride one of my favorite trails, Des Planes River Trail. Starting at Lake street in Forest Park I made it north to Deerfield road in Lake county. On the way back I had a front puncture, I was using a Vittoria XG tubular, the older silver model. It took less than 3 minutes to replace with a spare road tubular I was carrying. I finished the final 2 hours on an unglued road tubular. I will post some pictures of the repair process.
I have about 900k on the bike so far in 2012 and this is my first puncture, will it be my last?
