Had a puncture

[the_killjoy]

Had a puncture this morning so had to use one of the Lad's bikes today, After first moving the saddle up from ground level to a more 'sensible' position I then found out just how much assistance the Wisper had been giving me ~ I was knackered when I got to work, and if people criticise the wisper brakes they should have tried these.... I really must sort them out.

You need a puncture repair kit, it's very rare I have a puncture that can't be fixed in 5 minutes.

I was only 50 yards from home so I will do it tonight.

I guess now you know the difference you'll opt for the repair next time.
I have my mum's old bike at home as a standby but I dread the day I need to use it. It's in good condition and when the weather is better I plan to try it, the weather is quite good now but I just can't bring myself to do it.

Last time I had a puncture I pushed the bike home and repaired it at home. I'll admit it took me ages. The main problem was finding the hole. I had to resort to a using a bucket of water. Even when I found it it was still impossible to actually see it.
I also took the time to vacuum out the inside of the tyre. Time consuming but not had a puncture for last 550 miles.

Of course I should also have got round to getting some spare long valve tubes.

You can fit standard tubes in the Wisper rims, when deflated push the tube into the hole and clamp the pump onto it. Put the tyre back on and inflate, job done.
