I heard a bad sound from my front wheel a few days ago.
Because it was below freezing, I thought some water had
gotten in the bearings and frozen.
But, as it turned out, the ice was inside the tube. It was
an old Slime tube. I thought I had gotten rid of all these,
but here it was inside a durable Avocet Cross tire. This
tire was purchased in 1998, and this might be the original
tube. I suspect the Slime compound had broken down somewhat
and was now subject to freezing.
By the way, I highly recommend the Avocet Cross as a
commuter tire. It's heavy, but resists flats well.
