Tyre and tube held full pressure until I sat in the garden with a cold Guinness and fixed in my own time :P

    I think she felt sorry for me. A few days ago had 2 in less than a mile. Ripped thumbnail changing tubes in a rush to get to work. A good excuse to put the summer tyres on !

    I've had three consecutive punctures once. It was in the dark so I couldn't see that the brake blocks had ripped the sidewall of the tyre...
