Wanna hear a crappy nail story? Okay the other day I was riding and I hit a nail. I yanked it out, slime and air start shooting out. I figure "what the hell", so I roll the wheel until the hole is on the bottom and the slime actually stopped up a nail hole. I waited a couple of minutes, aired it back up, spun it a few times, waited a little more and was able to finish my ride. Now I know you're thinking, "that doesn't sound like a crappy nail story". Fast forward to the next afternoon. I go to make a trip to the grocery store and wouldn't you know it, the tire's flat. I change the tube out with my spare and head to the store. Well about a third of the way there the spare tube goes flat. Air's just hissing out of it. I had to walk home. When I got home I pulled the tube out of my "just in case my hub motor quits working" regular rear wheel and put it in. I was finally able to make it to the store and back. Yay, or so you think. Well later that evening my roommate goes to get his bike and ride to work, and guess what, his front tire's flat. I had to loan him the front wheel on my bike so he could get to work. He only had front brakes to start with and because of my wider rim and being short on time, he had to ride to work with no brakes. Now this wouldn't be so bad except there's a hill between the house and his job, oh and he's also on an e-bike. He made it there and back but he said it was scary because even doing the old no brakes sneaker to tire trick wouldn't really slow him down.
