Finally, success.

Today I removed the rear tire to replace the battery in the TPS, a delicate operation but not too technical. Putting the tire on the rim went pretty well. Took the core out of the 90-degree valves and blow in about 80 psi. The bead set right up, POP, POP and I backed off on the air ASAP. Then I filled it to 42 psi. Maybe I'm learning a thing or two thanks to you guys. There's something really great about learning to work on your own bike.

It feels good afterward, plus you learned something. Time for a beer.
