Fail #4 – Flat Tire

December 23rd, 2009 · 3 Comments · Fail, the FC

so i went to hang out with my friend james for a bit just to see wassup and decided to make sure my tires were pumped all well before going to menifee for the holidays. well, after pumping the rear passenger side, i took off the fitting from the air compressor and the valve stem started leaking air hardcore. =[ i guess the pin or whatever that keeps the air from coming out got pushed or something so it just kept leaking air.

i had no choice but to rock the donut spare tire in the hatch. *sigh*

so i guess i got more than just trying to pump my tires up… got myself a leaking valve stem.

^ gravel was kinda rough too so i got a nice souvenier while swapping wheels.

so with this being said, i have all but 1 lesson learned from this – replace ALL valve stems before swapping tires.

the plan tomorrow is to swap the work equips back to the convertible BBS wheels and let lainard rock my work equips for the mean time since he isn’t driving his FC. gotta rock the vert wheels so i can drive to menifee for the holidays.

total Fail… =T
