Isn't this the strangest bug strike ever?
I went on a good long ride with a few people yesterday and this morning I was getting ready to do some chain maintenance and I saw a fly that had smashed itself against my rear tire with the guts all stringed out. How the hell does a bug hit the rear wheel and stayed on there? Weird or what?

I had a bug fly into my helmet and start flying around. I thought I got it then it started flying around under my glasses.
Weird part was I normally ride visor up and get bugs hitting my in my glasses sometimes. But I actually had my visor down.

I get the rim bugs all the time. I just washed 3-4 of them off on Saturday.
Where do you get those valve stems? Are they nice? Checking tire pressure is a bit of a hassle with the standard ones. |
