hot damn

so I have found a problem with the tire patches i am using. First they are called scabs made by the same company that makes slime for tires. This is a fairly reputable company that makes good bike products. I bought the patches and followed the instructions when i got flatted. Now what the company fails to mention or perhaps does not know is that the self adhesive glue that is used on the back begins to fail/melt at anything over 110 degrees. Usually this would not be a problem but as Kansas is going through what all the locals refer to as either "nice biking weather" or "the hottest its been here since all the goats died off... what year was that (looking at other locals) ... conversation takes a dramatic wrong turn , and I try to politely excuse myself.... it is a problem. now I can bike and the tires stay ok but if i stop the flat. Could be because the blacktop is 140 could be many reasons but i have 3 times taken my tire off to find a leak and nothing but the old patches leaking. Moral of the story. Don't talk to old guys sitting outside of the gas station, they will argue about the strangest things. Oh and keep biking, if you stop tires go flat. Kansas has been grand. Free swimming pools free parks to sleep in and today a guy stopped along the side of the road to give me an ice cold Gatorade. 2nd time its happened in Kansas and a lady offered me money after I ate lunch today, also the 2nd time someone in Kansas has tried to give me money. Hope that the next state is as kind.
