Now that may seem a bit dramatic. It’s just a puncture on the way to work. Rolling over strewn grit by some roadworks and phtzzzzz. No biggie, just an annoyance.
Trouble is I had decided to leave my lightweight Askium tyres on the bike for LEJOG rather than re-shoe with Schwelbe Marathons as I did for the last trip. This was to save weight in that all important wheel rim area and to prove that the route is passable on a genuine lightweight road set up. But there’s quite a bit of grit on my route.
Now the demon is ranting in my ear…
