Had to happen didn't it? Didn't spot a huge square edged crevasse between a manhole and a gully drain, and within seconds had the all too familiar rumble of an airless back tyre.
Managed to cross to the footpath on the other side of the road and had just got the tyre off when a fellow cyclist stopped to check everything was OK. So, thanks Roger from Cummins Turbos, it was great to be able to chat while I fixed things up... loved your Carbon Ebay bargain.
It's worth pointing out that Ultremo ZX are a breeze to change. Bare-handed replacement and seating, and the cheapo Bikehut plastic minipump that I had in my pack 'cos I couldn't find my Peakini last week surpassed its pricetag in performance terms.
