As I perused the bike stuff at REI today I note that SlimeLite tubes are now available with 48mm stems. That makes my day! I bought a pair of them and will install them in my Bontragger RaceLite wheels tonight! If they work any where as good as the set I have in my Xero wheels (with Gatorskin tires) I'll be a happy camper.
5 flats in 60 miles last Saturday was 5 flats too many!
BTW, still haven't heard back from ORBike on what percentage of the registration for The Worst Day of the Year Ride goes to the charity "Community Cycling Center". Their silence doesn't bode well for them.

Race Across Oregon (2 course records), Furnace Creek 508, UMCA North American 500 Mile Time Trial Champion, 4 consecutive 10k mile years. I no longer bike after being hit 3 times by drivers who violated the law, but were never held responsible. I no longer want to risk my life for the fun of riding bike.

2010 Furnace Creek 508
In October of 2010 I completed a 4 year goal of finishing the Furnace Creek 508, an Ultra Cycling race billed as "The Toughest 48 Hours in Sport". I had planned to put together a video of the experience, however I could never come up with a plan on how to document what ended up being just a long bike ride.
