first day of holidays in Belgium last year with bromptons, partner breaks a spoke on their rear wheel(!?!) - proceed directly to nearby Plum Gent who luckily had a correct length spoke in their workshop & sold me a spoke tool just before closing - disassemble/fix/true in the yard at the front of that night's hotel with a stream of other residents looking at me bemused... I've had more relaxing starts to holidays...
on the plus side, Plum chucked in a couple of their water bottles for free?!

Jesus Christ. I had a puncture the other day after riding on a shoddy suburban bike path. I don't think I ever had a puncture on my old Brompton - this must've been nine or so years ago - so had never taken a rear wheel off. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. I was at home and it was miserable. Imagine changing it at the side of the road?!
On the plus side, after I got the puncture - just before reaching my destination - I booked an Uber and threw it in the boot for the return leg. Felt like cheating.
