Definitely my error as it took a few attempts to get it to sit right. All ready for tomorrow now though.

Usually happens near the valve like in your pic, I push the valve up into the tyre a couple of times which seems to help :thumbsup:

Woke up to the sound of rain on the velux. Nice.. but always sounds worse then it is. Left home as usual to a tiny bit of drizzle. Nothing too bad and certainly not cold so stuck with the ss jersey. About halfway into the commute the heavens decided to chuck it down big time. Yuckity yuk...the new bike has now had it's rainy commute christening.

When I was staying at my parents I slept under a velux and I must admit there was a few times when it sounded worse than it actually was and if I didn't have to make the journey, I'd roll over and go back to sleep. Its the exact opposite in the flat I'm staying in now, it looks out on a sheltered area and I often don't get the feel for the full weather until I'm a few 100m away; by then I usually in the mood to press on.

No commute on the bike today, need to pick up two large bags of cat litter:headshake:.
So decided to take advantage by buying two non-folding MTB tyres from Halfords for the snow bike(cheap MTB with Ice Spikers), which hasn't been used this year.
This means I can now use the MTB to ride out with the kids and not have to keep telling them to stop to let me catch up on foot:thumbsup:.

Heard the rain at 4 am which is disappointing! So again the long way as I still have not done the busway when wet!

God pipped at by a car as I was not on a cycle path but waved at him as I knew who he was !!!

Roll on the good weather for the weekend and a quick clean up of the road bike
