Flat tyre!!!
First one so far, but certainly a lot sooner than on any of the road bikes. Rear tube. Looked like a snakebite, but tiny and bang on the centre of the tube. I think I’ve already slammed a few flat spots into the rear rim, but anyway, pulled out metal, glass, etc from the Barzo’s but it must have been an unlucky landing off a kerb that poked the shard through. Nothing noticeable on the inside of the tyre.
Thought I had it patched yesterday, still pancaked by this morning. Suppose this is what I get for cycling through a scrapyard a few days a week.
Must fix a set of tube patches and/or boxload of 559 tubes.
