Has anyone ever had that happen to them before?

I worked it out eventually, apparently you use tyre irons (all the rage with ITB) and replace the inner tube put the tyre back on then put some 'air' in the new tube allowing you to head off again.. it was pretty exciting stuffPurveyor of sonic doom

Once saw a naked streaker at a cricket match do that over a metal picket fence as he tried to outrun the officials... Left about 20,000 spectators traumatised for the rest of the day.Scott Scale 20 (for xc racing)
