Thursday morning at the Iowa Rally. Woke up to find the rear left tire flat.
Tire shop found that the flap had become brittle and was hard enough that a flake from around the valve stem worked its way down between the tube and flap, then wore a hole into the tube. New flap at $10, tube repair at $16, then the labor to break down a combat wheel and I was back up and going for $37. Well, a bit more because they broke 2 studs off reinstalling the rim so I had to go track down some bolts that would work and that was $9 for 2 9/16ths bolts and nuts. One day I am going to replace all of them.
