First visit from 'her'

Although it's a pain, if using clinchers (decent quality, none of this cheap Chinese rubbish) latex inner tubes make a difference. They flex a bit more so give a nicer ride. You are using 25c, I hope, faster smoother ride, less rolling resistance. The only downside is that latex is a bit more porous so they need pumping more often. Of course, tubs are best...but less convenient.

The rule is this. Carry a spare tube, puncture kit, pump, and immediately your chances of a puncture reduce magically. The day you go out without....Murphy and his law may visit you!

Enjoy!

There I was, sat at my desk, happily munching on a sandwich reading the latest posts on cyclechat, when something went pssssssst.

???? You have your bike at your desk, how goods that. Is it a office or something more industrial?

Well, not quite at the desk, about 20 feet away in an adjoining office/room along with a gym mat and some weights. We've got a borrowed tacx i-magic turbo thingy by the desk opposite me which is connected to a pc too which we use if the weather is too grim for a lunchtime spin. There are only four of us who work in this building and three of us are foolishly entering a triatholon this year so taking all the opportunities we can to get into shape.
