Fixing Punctures / Puncture Repair / Exploding Tubes

If you've done 200 on them, they're not new. Get down to the gym and ask about thumb extensions, thumb and jerk, deadthumbs. 6 months and you'll be able to thumb double your body weight.

Was a used tyre. On the way home from the 200k we were driving back along the last bit of the route up the Cat & Fiddle and came across a rider with a shagged sidewall. We happened to have a spare tyre in the van so we fitted it for him. I doubt even the strongest of thumbs could have gotten this tyre onto the rims.
