True Karma Story: Riding the QB northbound across Mill Valley Mud yesterday @ 0930 hours, just a few yards past the last foot bridge, and I look over and see a mini-pump laying in the grass at the side of the trail. I don't break cadence and spin ahead, but glance down to find to my chagrin that my frame pump is not on the bike. Just before leaving home (Richmond District of SF) I had the QB on the work stand and had removed the pump in order to rack the top tube into the jaws. I forgot to remount the frame pump before setting out on the ride.
Nonetheless, I ride on, irritated with myself, and try to recall the last time I had a flat on those hybrid tires -- not mention on my Chi. Then caution got the best of me, and I turned about and rode back to retrieve the pump. It was in working order, and I stuffed it into my NS Banana and rode on. Over Camino Alto, through Corte Madera, and out clock-wise around Paradise I go and wouldn't you know it, I flat out the rear tire about 10 miles later -- AND it starts to sprinkle! Bing/bang, out goes the sticker, in goes the new tube and I use that little mini-pump to get me up to a survival pressure. I finish the ride. I see it all, of course, as Karma. My apologies to anyone on this list, or elsewhere, for snatching your mini-pump. I know you probably went back to look for it. My bad Yin. To regain my Chi, ping me off- forum and I'll get the pump back to you ASAP.
