disaster strikes! anyone got a 36" tire in Tucson?
So I'm here in Tucson, AZ for El Tour de Tucson 109 mile ride, planning to ride it on my 36r. The ride starts tomorrow, 11/22, at 7:00 AM!! Unfortunately, my star crossed Nightrider tire, nothing but troubles in the 6 months I've had it, finally gave up the ghost. I actually think that's far too peaceful term for it. It tried to blow itself out of its misery. Little does it know that my buddy is gonna revive it zombie Frankentire style with sheet metal and pop rivets. I will be in the ride tomorrow one way or another, but I'd prefer it was on a functioning 36r. Any chance anyone can help me out? Got a 36" tire, in any condition, that I could take off your hands or rent for the weekend? Msg me if you can help! Don't make my buddy brycer1968 start fusing rubber and metal in unnatural ways. The *******!

Major bummer! I haven't seen any unicyclists with 36" wheels and don't know of any in the area... you might try some local bike shops, but I think the odds of finding a 36" tire are very slim. Ordinary Bike shop deals with some weird things, but they don't have much on stock (520 622 6488). Ajo bikes has tons of stuff in stock, and lots of weird tires (520 294 1434).

you could go with an emergency 29" tube conversion, just get the hefftiest tube you can find and stretch it in there. -- kington99 Dave - what a thoroughly post-modern subversion of the cycling genre - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kington99's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9417 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74400 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Try to get ahold of Chris Labonte. He's in Phoenix, if i remember right.

Thanks for the suggestions. It's been amazing to see the unicycle community spring into action here, including my hometown unicycle shop Serious Juggling working their network. Above and beyond, I tell you. I'll check out Ajo bikes, and unfortunately the 29r tube conversion won't work for the tire damage I've got. Thanks all - I'm not all set up yet but enjoying the adventure!

Thanks again all. I was put in touch with Jeremy at theunicycleshop.com and am waiting on final word on a tire he has. It's looking good but I am happy to have some other options in place. It's been an adventure in grace here.

Tire in hand! My phone browser won't let me post a picture of the triumphant handoff, and my connection is spotty enough that I should just get this message off. So many people pitched into the effort to get this stranger far from home a rare tire, it was a wonderful experience of the good in us. Thank you all. -- boisei ------------------------------------------------------------------------ boisei's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16116 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74400 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Ben and Yvette Called me while I was at school to see if I knew anyone in your area with a 36'er tire... I couldn't help but I showed up after school and they said you ended up getting one.

I'm going to bump the tread up.And with this prize that I have received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home, and if we can create a home for the poor I think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace be the good news to the poor. The poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. To be able to do this, our Sisters, our lives have to be wove with prayer. They have to be woven with Christ to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because to be woven with Christ is to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because today there is so much suffering…When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have satisfied. I have removed that hunger. But a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out from society-that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable…And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.Come and buy 'WOTLK Power Leveling' (http://www.wow-powerleveling.org/wow...ing.asp),cheap 'WOTLK Power Leveling' (http://www.wowgoldweb.com/wow-power-leveling.asp), free 'WOTLK Power Leveling' (http://www.igsstar.com/wow-powerleveling-us/) 1-80 level 'WOTLK Power Leveling' (http://www.powerlevelingweb.com/wow-powerleveling.asp) at the 'WOTLK Power Leveling' (http://www.xowow.com/wow-powerleveling.asp) web . -- Liuodaa712 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Liuodaa712's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/18399 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74400 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
