Road to Ukraine – Day 12

Turns out we had two nails in the back tire

good morning everybody I’m scared to look at my bike the tire hasn’t completely deflated it’s lost some air though so I’m going over the list of things that I want to do while we’re here I obviously need to replace my inner tubes I need to replace the brakes because that’ll fix the squealing um I want to clean it so taking it to like a car wash or something oh I also need to fix the derailer because whenever I’m between like third and fifth gears the chain keeps slipping on a completely separate note I just signed a deal with a channel sponsor I’m not sure if it’ll be recurring but I know at least one time they’re going to pay me $400 to talk about their eim on a completely separate note a channel sponsor reached out to me to talk about one of their products and I think it’s one of the most interesting offers I’ve gotten so far do you guys know what eim is an eim is basically internet that you download it’s a SIM card that you don’t need to physically put in your phone there’s a company they sell eims and they want me to talk about it in one of my videos and they’re paying me $400 to do it so so that means I’m getting a bunch of free internet and I’m getting paid $400 and if this goes well they might continue to sponsor the channel yeah everything is closed because it’s the Monday after Easter I might need to go to a gas station if I want to get food mole open 24/7 apparently even on Easter Monday oh look at that they’ve got food I don’t know what kind of food it is I’m going to get one of both this is almost five bucks for a coffee no thank you but if you get the Hungarian hell kind it’s less than $2 Double Espresso she’s thring the sandwiches in the oven thank you so much okay first up is this guy and it looks like they’ve got fish sticks it looks like it looks like a fish stick sandwich I can’t tell what kind of meat this is it’s probably fish honestly it’s pretty good the other sandwich I got is like a I think it’s like a ham and cheese sandwich in a pretzel bun very strange choice for a bun damn that was actually really good as far as gas station food is concerned okay look at this motorcycle right here I motorcycle yeah this is a motorcycle this would be pretty hard to steal right because you don’t have the key you don’t have the engine is my bike really different from that would my bike like like I feel like my bike would be hard to steal my bike is big and heavy they didn’t chain it to anything they just left it on the sidewalk well I guess my bike has pedals and that one doesn’t so if I really wanted my bike to be safe I should just like take the pedals off when I want to leave it somewhere I’m not sure if it matters though if I lock the wheel to the frame of the bike nobody’s going to be able to pick the bike up and walk off with it it’s too heavy the only way that somebody could steal the bike if I lock the wheel to the frame is if they actually come at it with like an angle grinder and they just cut the lock off I don’t think I could deal with that regardless how many ukrainians do you think are just walking around with angle grinders I don’t think Ukraine has the same like bike stealing culture that Los Angeles does what is it about a motorcycle that makes it safe to leave on the sidewalk like that that my bike doesn’t have I guess wait hell for $23 a night this place is amazing I am just going to leave all of my change here that’ll probably pay for the banana okay video is uploaded let’s go let’s go deal with this flat tire can I squeeze through you thank you okay our objective right now is to find a bike shop and hopefully somewhere that sells sunscreen but again oh everything is still closed there’s no way that a bike shop will be open today there’s no way anything will be open today I can feel that my back tire is flat again so given that it’s a holiday I’m not sure what all we can actually do [Laughter] today one thing that we can do is we can try to patch the hole let’s figure out what punctured the tire pull it out and then stick one of those patch kits on okay come on bike I’m going to set you down very gently we’re going to do this carefully come on okay let’s inspect this tire I don’t have a spray bottle so I can’t oh yep I found the nail you can see that slime it’s doing a good job okay so uh where’s the patch kit at yep here we go oh if we want to patch this that means we got to take the whole wheel off take the outer shell out get to the inner tube this is a this is an Oreal oh there’s another hole and you can oh God I got all kinds of stuff in here you can see this is where the old SL used to be and it’s already sealed it what did I ride over God damn I’m not sure if it’s even worth using the patch kit because I probably want to replace the inner tube anyway patching this up will just waste patches that we could use in the future this is good for emergency situations when we’re in Ukraine I don’t think wasting the patches now is a good idea the Slime is already holding it at least for now but this does confirm that the Slime works even after 6 months like it was sitting there in the shed for like 4 months sitting in one position and then we rode with it this is good to know this stuff is just fantastic I will leave a link to it called muck off yes we will not waste patches on the inner tube because we’re just going to replace it anyway okay so if we cannot fix the bike until stores open tomorrow I think that means I get the day off now of course I am biased I do have an incentive to take the day off just because you know I don’t want to do things so I am back at the gas station for more drinks I cannot believe that slime saved us from two Nails in my tire God slime is such a great investment I’m just going to sit here and read for a few hours I got tea and I got more sandwiches okay I’m in a bad mood do you remember that uh booking that I was not able to go to because he lied about the location uh booking apparently they contacted him and he said that everything was great and that he was super honest and so they don’t want to give me a refund which means I need to go claw the money back from this guy or from booking.com or somebody and I’m not happy about that I really like booking.com and like hotels.com and those places everything works great right up until you have a problem and then they just throw up their hands and like oh nope we’re just a third party vendor we can’t help you I got to get out of the sun I’ve already getting a sunburn I found shade yeah see look at that motorcycle that motorcycle is just chilling it’s not locked to anything why isn’t he worried about somebody scooping it up like they’re not that different booking.com wants me to call them but I’m not sure if I get free international calls hey holy that went so well if you have a problem with like booking.com just call them directly holy so much better talking to a real person what they said I need to do is I need to take a screenshot of that WhatsApp message where the guy is sending me the different coordinates and I just need to email that to them and that is their proof that he lied and that we’re good so I’ve just got to take a screenshot and send that to them [Music] great there we go K napoi or K naoka I can’t remember how it’s supposed to be pronounced we have a nice little balcony for reading When the Sun Goes Down of course because my sunburn got all standing desk cool big TV oh my God twoin one washer and I have a washer and a dryer ooh they gave me a Belgium beer and some non-carbonated water yeah so I was serious I’m going to take the day off I will catch you guys tomorrow
