Tyre picked up something on Shacklewell Lane this morning. Clattered through the mudgaurd a couple of times and then ejected itself across the road... To the accompanying sound of escaping air.
I tried to find it to see what it was but couldn't locate the offending peice of debris.
Tyre has a small hole through the carcass just at the top of the sidewall. Glued a patch over the inside, will monitor (rear wheel so not too worried).
Kudos to the cyclist who stopped to ask if I was ok; nice to see a bit of community spirit.
Overall 7/10, would carry a spare tube again.
