I switched from a hybrid to a road bike (Secteur Elite) around a year ago. Mentioned smuggly to a fellow cyclist in the office that I hadn't had a visit from the PF on my new bike. Half way to work this morning then it happened.
Not an issue I thought. Spare inner tube, tire levers, pump all in my rucksack. Found the offending spear shaped piece of flint, whipped the rear wheel off, changed the tube and ready to put wheel back on in less than 2 minutes. Feeling pleased with myself until it took me another 10 minutes (yes 10 frustrating minutes) to get the wheel back on.
Still not sure how it took me so long although I have learned next time to have some latex type gloves as I was completely covered in oil by the end of the exercise.
Guess I need to practice putting the wheel back on when not at the side of a busy road.
