Well I had a lovely ride into work this morning, I loaded up a backpack with crap and took the racer in. On my way I ran afoul of the illustrious work of the Tacoma road maintenance crew, and got a pinch flat. There was so much gravel on outer edge of the road on Tyler. I don’t mean little pebbles, I am talking Bam Bam and Dino, sized rocks. Okay, it just seemed like it, between the rough edged holes and rocks on the road it was like biking a mine field. So I changed the tube and took out my trusty Planet Bike Red Zeppelin CO2 inflator. When I started to use it, for the first time, the head separated from the body and it started spraying CO2 everywhere. That sucks.

Then I had some help while posting, here are the photos. I could not get a picture of the actual helping.
