I don’t know my tire from my tube

July 6th, 2005 by Tim Grahl

Guitar Ted goes on a rant about people he calls Air Heads (nice pun by the way) that don’t know a darn thing about tires and tubes and ask questions like what’s “that funny, skinny valve vs. the standard, car tire one?”.

Sure it sucks getting the same stupid questions everyday when you work in a bike shop, but I bet I asked the same exact question when I was a newbie.
