Paddy Wagon finally gave up the ghost over the weekend so I did a mad dash to get the nice bike fixed (front brake hose fitting and bleed, some other minor fettling). Got done and pumped up tires. Came down this morning and the front is flat. Got the inner tube out to reveal a large star shaped hole in the tube. culprit seems to be failed tubeless rim tape. That has to be one of the more extensive pre-commute repairs I've even had to make. Still, anything to avoid the train.
