Fixing tires?

[HereWeGoAgain]

back in the days when I rode my bike almost everywhere I did the same .
high end bicycle tires are almost as expensive as car tires.

There are some bicycles worth more than my vehicle..

Just sold my Fuji Professional for $3k after paying $4.5k ten years ago.

Does it message your prostate while riding?

Last time I checked my prostrate didnt have a twitter account..

What a shame...

What happened to the good old fixing your tires after a puncture? I got a puncture the other day, went to a tire place, and all they said was that they needed to replace it. Ridiculous. I had to pay 75 euros for it. If the threads of the tire are still good enough, why is repairing the tire not an option any more? Do you understand this whole thing? I don't.

Was it on the sidewall?

No it was in the threads, but it was a slow puncture, and I learnt it here that by the time I realized it, driving on it I totally ruined the edges of the sidewallls too.
