I picked up some new gloves on the weekend for the ride in, and they worked spectacularly, North Face TNF APEX. Nicely wind proof, nice grips on the palms, and decent manual dexterity while I repaired my flat tire almost exactly half way to work this morning, damned steel shrapnel on the roads!!! The Glue-less patches and CO2 inflation canisters that I picked up after my last tire incident worked flawlessly (i was also surprised to find that what I thought was a single use flat repair kit actually contains 8-10 patches). The hole was on the extrusion line and I did not have high hopes that the patch would hold, but it seems to be going strong! It does beg the question though, should I replace the tube now, or wait until I get home?
