Thanks again to the guy who stopped in Spooky Woods at Glentress and saved my ride on Saturday.
Hit a sharp rock and ripped my tyre wall, ride over I thought as I had no gaffer tape to fix it. Then some helpful guy stopped and ran back with a good amount of gaffer tape wrapped around his pump. He gave me some of said tape and taped an old energy gel wrapper to seal the hole on the sidewall before I replaced the tube and set off again with the tyre rock solid!
There were actually surprisingly few people offering help so it was much appreciated.
I'll carry gaffer tape in my bag now as well as cable ties as I hear they can save a long walk too.

Beer in moderation ... is a waste of beer
If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
... or being punched by it, depending on the day
Now thats the truth

seriously is there anything the duck cannae fix?
Broken bones.
Bad breath.
Being a roadie.
Well - I reckon you could fashion a splint out of the duck and some fallen branches. All the plaster cast does is hold everything in place until nature does it's work.
Tape them to a proper bike :shock:
