Thanks. I just ordered one online.
I have a bike maintenance class coming up in February and I'm determined to
learn to change a tire on this road bike. I can't always depend on being
with someone capable of changing it or near the LBS. I'm sure my
maintenance skills won't impress the instructor but maybe he'll be impressed
with the tools<G>
