So, with so many things going on in my orbit, I hadn't had the chance to have my new Pirellis mounted. But, fate intervened, and told me it was time. I went to move the CB to get to my car, and the rear was flat. Had a nice little nail in it. No wonder my last ride home felt a bit weird.
Finally connected with my usual tire swap shop, called Riders Revelation in Costa Mesa and got the new tires mounted. I put them back on today and went for a quick scrub-in ride.
This shop found a pretty innovative way of doing "no-contact" business with the current situation. On the front counter, there was a computer, printer, webcam, speakers and credit card scanner. The screen saver on the computer said to please call a phone number. The shop owner answered and came up on the screen. He was working from home, but had a tech working in the back shop area. He had me put my new tires and my wheels near the front desk.
I came back today to pick them up. The newly mounted wheels were leaning against the counter. The shop owner came up on the computer screen, and had me scan my credit card, and he sent a receipt to the printer on the counter. I grabbed the wheels and was on my way. Pretty interesting.
