My last 3 punctures I have not been riding.
The other week, on the hottest day ever so they say, I had my bike on the work stand out in the garden sorting out my gears, both tyres blew at the same time within a minute or two, on looking, a tiny pin prick puncture in each innertube.
2 days ago whilst fitting a new chain out in the garden, in the Sun, the rear tyre went down, tiny pin prick puncture and that was on a new tyre.
Maybe I should apply factor 50 sunscreen on my tyres for LEL
Got my rear mech sorted and a new cable fitted, today on my last test ride and everything was working perfectly, the gears on the rear went completely tits up in the last few miles before home. I'm just hoping its cable stretch as tightening it up seemed to get it working again. But, the way it went, it was not progressive, but a complete change from working excellent to unfunctional is bothering me.
Also shortly before the gears went tits up, a lot of cracking sounds coming from the rear, dammed if I know what it is, new wheel as well. I'm just hoping it was the spokes flexing where they cross. Hopefully a bit of oil at them points will stop it.
What else can possibly go wrong?
Other than that, I still have no motivation, enthusiasm or interest in LEL. It was only a fortnight ago, I looked it up out of curiosity to see how far it was in miles, I had been miscalculating by 100 miles shorter than it actually is and thought it was only about 840 miles.
