Funny. Wonder if it is the same one? I took that picture 4 years ago.

Scott,
Park tools makes an emergency tire boot that works fairly well. You may be able to find it at a bike shop. Here is the link. http://www.parktool.com/products/detail.asp?cat=17&item=TB%2D2. Good luck.

If you’re still looking for a bike shop in St. Louis, give Big Shark a try.

I showed up late on a Friday afternoon right before a big MS-150 ride with problems with my crank and they got me back on the road. They didn’t have to do that for an out-of-town customer.

I hope the dollar bill boot works. That’s about the only way you’ll get a dollar bill to go a long way these days.

It’s likely that your seat DID slip down. I had that experience when my bike started feeling funny after a few rides.
