bloody flint
You may remember I mentioned that I collected two punctures on my last ride due to little slither of flint. Well I got the wife’s bike out last night to replace her chain and that also had a flat front tyre. Turned out that was a small slither of flint as well. So that was four punctures to sort out (one from an earlier ride). Well I did two last night after working on the wife’s bike, one was a right mare to find, eventually found it and repaired it. I put the wheel back on the bike and left the other two for tonight. Came down this morning and the wife’s bike has a flat front again so further investigation work to be done on that tube (yes I did check the tyre, that how I found the flint slither sticking through the tyre).
I never got chance to have a spin round the block last night on the new saddle on my bike to see how it feels and see how my knee feels as it was raining, so will have to see how it goes on Saturday. With all these punctures from last weekend I am not sure riding at the same location again this weekend is a good idea or not?
My sister dropped off her PC for me to look at last night, so what with helping my son with is homework (model of the solar system!!), PC to repair, punctures to fix and no doubt the bikes to clean and wash after the two weekend rides (one will be muddy), I also need to get a passport photo for a driving licence I am not going to have a quiet weekend.
Anyway I suppose I had better start work otherwise I won’t be able to stop work and start the weekend.
