Swings and roundabouts
« on: 11 June, 2008, 01:22:01 pm »
Having waxed lyrical about my wonderful ride to work yesterday moring, Sod got revenge this morning.

Rear wheel started to misbehave and I discoverd I had been visited by the faerie. I dug a small piece of glass from the tyre and swapped the tube for my spare. I then spent some time with a small hand pump putting about 90psi into the tyre. O removing the pump I discovered that the pin in the valve core had snapped off, immediatly deflating the tyre >:(

Quick rerpair of the punctured tube and reffited this, another arm busting 90psi session on the pump and then I was off again.

Still a glorious ride. I'd rather be 30 minutes fettling faerie activity than stuck in a car in a jam :thumbsup:
