I noticed a flint or something in my rear tyre and prised it out immediately followed by air. Good thing I noticed. So took it off and thought I'd better put a heavier duty tyre on. Got a half used armadillo doesn't seem to sit properly and has one bit sticking out. Annoying. But then I noticed that the BB is a bit sticky. This bike also has no mudguards.
Now I feel I can't trust this bike till it's had a proper once over. The other option is to move the dynamo over to my fixed commuter. Been mulling it over while I've been looking after my daughter the past few hours. I'm going to do that now and then make my final decision during the ride from my house to Marylebone at stupid o'clock.
