Hedge trimming trouble...
« on: 20 October, 2014, 01:51:05 pm »
Stay well clear !   :-\  I fell foul of the council hedge/hawthorn trimming on my commute in today.  Not only was he (with air defenders) wielding the giant hedge trimmers around like some sort of serrated claymore, but didn't see me in this narrow bit of the route, and I just had to pick my moment to get by.  1km later first p*nct*re in front - made a bit of a mess, by not checking the tyre was in properly and had to deflate and repump.  About 6km later p*nct*re no.2 in rear tyre, used a handy bus shelter, extracted a large hawthorn, but then managed to stick the open tyre/new inner into some mud, and had to clean this (bag with ~10x wipes was useful).  3x100psi, reminded me also about the TP Road MorphG being a superb piece of kit.  People were quite surprised I routinely carry 2 spare inners.
