First time fixing a rear puncture (at home) on my Brompton today. Two things I've learnt from this:
The jockey wheels are nowhere near as clean as you think.
I hope I never have to fix a rear puncture on a cold, wet, dark night.
I know, the worst thing for me is you have to fit the wheel back first and then pump the tyres.
The jocket wheels and derailleur is a joke tbh. Literally either have some spare to replace when they're broken or worn out than replace the parts.
Maybe get some slim or sealant inside the inner tube.
The horror...
Although I think a folder with a Nexus 7 and a chain tensioner is probably even worse in that situation.
Has anyone ever actually punctured the front???
