Last night I almost bit it....my tire blew going on Calle cristobald. Luckily it was the rear...I hear front blow outs are much worse

I was fine for a sec and then once all the pressure was gone my bike began to fishtail violently....there was a road and I tried to turn off, but that was a bad idea....there was water in the gutter and I was already out of control....luckily I puleed it together and saved the lowside....

this was the one day that I wasnt wearing gloves and if I would have fallen...damn would I have deserved a rashed up hand...

Bryant and Jae came to my rescue and loaded up the 800 pund bike onto his trailer....

so now I need to change the tire...anyone wanna help? I havent done it before and was wondering if anyone could help me. I know there is a spite CHUCK ride going on this weekend, but I am flexible and really could use a hand.

chime in if you can....of have doen it before...I know it shoud be the same...but just havent done it before
