Felix Wong's Flat Tire Saga Continues

Racer update about:
Hi this is Felix Wong calling at 11:15 Monday from Togwotee Mountain Lodge NW of Jackson. I just wanted to give an update on my flat tire saga. I found the root cause of all of my flat tires. It was rim tape not applied properly. Some spoke holes were exposed causing all of my flats. So now I consider it quite fortunate that I got a flat tire right in front of this lodge where I could stay for the night and diagnose this problem.. I also patched up all of my spare tubes. So now I have 3 good spare tubes instead of just one. Hopefully I won’t be getting so many flat tires now. Talk to you later. Bye. (recorder time: 2008-06-24 00:19:23 EST.)

May the tire woes be over!

Hey Felix - Goldie had some issues and you got her home from Cali so hopefully all your tire woes are over now that you figured out the source of the problem and it will be smooth sailing down to Mexico. Though I am guessing that getting parts in the middle of nowhere is just as hard as getting parts for Goldie was! But as always, your resourcefulness is amazing :)! Keep working it and riding strong!!! -Michele

Go Felix!

Show those flat tires who's boss!
