UST time

Well got a bit lucky today when I realised after the ride that I had a torn sidewall.

I sure am having no luck with tyre's and tubes on my new bike. First I get a glass puncture right at the finish of the Dirtworks. Must have been one of those warm beer bottles that we all got handed at the finish line!

Then last week I get a pinch flat after going off a drop in Manly. The tubes that come standard with the Trance X0 sure are damn thin! Some sort of Maxxis lightweight tube.

And now today with the sidewall tear on the nice set of Maxxis Crossmark Exceptions. Must have only had 200-300 km on it

Anyways I bought a Crossmark LUST off Tien. Busted my back trying to get it to pop onto the bead with a track pump before giving up and going to the servo. Done in 10 seconds Now time to try it out at tomorrow's AMBC training day to see what all the fuss about UST is about
