Just a note to all:
When checking out all the normal stuff as most of us do, be SURE to check your valve stems for cracks. To alot of people this is something that gets overlooked because we tent to think that the stems last the lengh of the tire.(NOT SO)
While rebuilding my shocks I was doing some well needed cleaning on those areas that you can't get to with the bags on and started cleaning the rear wheel and noticed that the stem was cracked almost half way around.With the tires only having a little over 2k on them I hadn't started checking them yet.So, I get to take the wheel off and install a new stem.
With all that said, be sure to check those valve stems on a regular basis.
Now let's go ride.
(As soon as I figure out where All of those extra parts go):?
