Well, decided to go for a ride after work last night, 12 mile mainly road,that was the plan .........
So, got out , lights on (candle light tbh!) ,first bit of single track,something felt wrong, back wheel was jammed in frame, odd.Then I noticed the tyre was coming of the rim,***Alarm***Alarm***just I was about to let some air out >>>>>>BANG<<<<<<!!! ,the tube exploded inches away from my face, it really did sound like a shot gun going off.So a lesson to us all ,old tubes, cold weather = not good.After fitting a new tube got on my way, by this time it was snowing heavily, was riding blind as could not see anything. turned around and limbed back, my hands frozen and me soaked through to the bone
....Roll on summer !
