Attempting to fix the sidewall. It only cost me a buck. Unfortunately I put it at the wrong spot- there's some more damage right there. Graveyard of tubes in the background.
My rim, my bike, my luggage, Jeremy's trailer.. quite the yard sale.
My bike, my luggage, Jeremy's luggage. He took my wheel because we couldn't get the tire on with four Pedros tools.
