A day in Seville and I wanted
to get my bike tuned up a bit for Africa. I found a bike shop on line but it was across
town. Only two bridge crossings and I
found the shop. They change out the rear
cassette for free. Now I am back to the
normal mountain bike cassette which is slightly faster and a little harder to
climb hills. On the way back to the hotel
I spot a nice place in a empty park to work on the bike. Replace the chain which was not feeling right
with the new cassette. Chain had
stretched a inch or so I tossed it. Change
out the rear brake pads and put on the Marathon RX tire on the rear. As I started to cleanup I hear a hiss. It is the rear tire stem. I did not have my spare tubes with me. It being siesta and not knowing where a shop
would be I carried the rear of my bike to the hotel. It was just over 2 kilometers back to the
hotel. Once fixed and siesta over I went
out looking for more tire tubes and brake pads.
Starting at the shop the hotel desk sent me to I only need to visit 7
shops to find the bike tube that fit my bike.
I was thinking of sending home one of the spare tires. I decide that if finding a tube for the tire
I decide that that I will not be able to find spare tires in Africa. So I am staying with two. In the evening went out with Cindy for dinner
and a photo shoot of the town.
