The handiman's secret weapon....
Well, i just got home from a bike ride...
I snapped my front derailer, AGAIN... I had no tools cept for a small pair of vice grips, so, i twisted the front derailer so that my chain would stay in the centre ring. Problem solved temporary. i am about 15 km from home, and my tire goes flat i am outside a gas station and a grocery store. I tried putting air into it, but it went flat with in minutes. Using my small vice grips, i took off the wheel, and put air into it. I found the leak..... but i had no tube, or any other thing to fix it with. then for some reason i though of those shows on tv that had the cloth tied to the tube to keep air in it. I walked over to the grocery store, and found the perfect thing to fix it. Duct Tape. I put some air into the tire, found the leak, wrapped it several times. It got me home with one stop for a "top up." If the women dont find you hansome, at least they will find you handy. Micheal Keep your stick on the ice |

snip-not cool, but cool If the women dont find you hansome, at least they will find you handy. Micheal Keep your stick on the ice My father-in-law lives (and may die by) that stuff. I now (thanks to his guidance) keep a "small" (inch or so in diameter) roll of duct-tape (wrapped around a broken pencil) in my HAWG (sounds bad now that I've typed it, huh?). It's patched many a tire wall, or gaping wound, or... Do they still produce and/or air the Red Green show? His stuff can be so freakin' funny! K. -- ireman_1 |
