    Was that terrifying?

    It’s me who gets those tyres out of the container. Kinda fun to roll into the warehouse.

    Saw one of those rubber tyred road rollers last week with a blow out. Inner front wheel, just to be extra fun to change. The other tyres weren’t happy about carrying the load. I bet it wasn’t something to be standing near when it let go.

    Yes, it was a bit alarming. It happened just as I was entering a left hand bend. I knew I couldn't lean into the bend, then I noticed a gateway directly in front

    of me and headed for that. I managed to pull up right in the gateway. Somebody was looking out for me.

    Well it wouldn't have been God watching out for you, else he would have stopped all those catholic boys being raped. Hundreds and hundreds. He didn't stop any of that.

    So don't think he helped a wobbly wheel if ne couldn't stop paedophilia being his largest churches staple reason to exist.

    Just saying.

    That tends to happen as the front wheel kicks up any crap on the road and biffs it into the rear. Most punctures are on the rear tyre.

    I cut a pilot sport in half awhile ago just to show a canvas riding mate how thin tyres are these days. Also had a 80/20 tyre on the DR suffer an internal failure that was only evident when I took it off the rim. Big internal split.
    Never run tyres too low after seeing several delaminate on high horsepower bikes.
