Spotted...

I went to pump up the tyre with a track pump after changing the inner tube on Sunday after months of incident free riding. The valve went. I replaced the tube. The new tube turned out to have a gash in it. I replaced it, put the wheel back on and went to wash and scrub my hands. Bang. Wheel off, tyre off, new inner on. Wheel on pump up. Wash hands and bang. New one on and this one held until I was almost home that evening. Next one lasted a day....

You destroyed two tubes just by washing your hands? That truly puts Ed to shame. :)
