Strange thing. I was airing up the Blackmore's tires for a ride up Little Park Rd and a loop on the Gunny and the inner portion of the valve stem shot out when I removed the chuck. Normal tire pressures probably wouldn't have had so much velocity, but 60psi seemed to be enough to stick that little sucker in the ceiling. Almost as dangerous as a Red Ryder BB gun.

Hehehehe...the sliderule boys over on r.b.t. could probably tell you the muzzle velocity of that sucker. (That is if they can agree on the correct terminology) They recently had a hysterical thread on "Why there are notches in a Presta Nut.". Watch yer eyes!

Done that, on the trail, right after fixing my second flat in about 30 yards (one pinch flat, one legit puncture... before you ask, yes, we were already way late). No idea where that sucker went, but I'm pretty sure it ricocheted off my sunglasses....

You'll shoot your eye out!
Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world. :-]

Nope, I [censored] the tube and donned protective goggles to inflate the tube I replaced it with. When are you goombas going to come down valley to ride a bit?
