I've never had a puncture so today as the weather was rubbish I thought I'd have a go at changing an inner tube, which I've never done before.
It was awful. Took me ages to get the wheel off, got tyre off ok, took inner tube out (I'd deflated it), put it back in. Really struggled getting the tyre back on. Went to re inflate inner tube and couldn't.
Turns out I'd somehow managed to puncture the inner tube while taking it out/putting it back in.
So tyre off again. Replaced inner tube. Couldn't get tyre back on this time as my fingers were so painful. Had to get husband to do it.
No idea how I managed to puncture the inner tube. While thing took me 2.5 hours and I couldn't even manage it myself. I'm really worried now what I'll do if I get a puncture 20 miles from home and husband isn't with me.
