Cue a flat rear tyre and a sidewall cut so bad that the tyre is now in the bin.
Hah that's my trick.
To add insult to injury, I couldn't get the bloody tubeless valve out so had to walk to Eden Park station and get a train home.
My guide to tooblis mentions backing the lockring off after mounting is complete.... I TOLD YOU SO etc.
Think I'll get a small pair of pliers to carry with me in the future.
Bought some at a service station on the way to battle of the beach. Super useful when extracting valve cores by the side of the course :s

The leatherman squirt has decent pliers in a very small multitool http://www.amazon.co.uk/Leatherman-Squirt-PS4-Tool-Black/dp/B003J37BHK/

Was riding up at Bethlem earlier today and, foolishly, decided to go down the Dip of Disaster. Twice. The first time was fine as I took a wide line to set myself up for the ride back up, but the second time I decided to hit the apex of the corner. Cue a flat rear tyre and a sidewall cut so bad that the tyre is now in the bin.
