I must be a proper commuter now

[mr_cellophane]

Got my first p**c**e on the way home. It the roughest bit of my commute. I now know I need a better pump. I got 30 psi in, but it still felt loose on the road at the back. Still it was enough to get me to Tesco and use the car air pump there. They only go up to 80 psi though. Hope the chap in the car who pulled in there after me remembers to change it back down.

welcome aboard, I'm shocked to hear no repair/tube change tale of woe though

30psi is piss all, your pump is terrible or you have feeble arms

80psi is as much as I can get with my mini morph but that's plenty to get home on

Don't use car pumps really..... risk of something nasty...........

Tell me about it,it narf makes a bang and I was terribly embarrsed.

I saw some kid do it once and I found it terribly hilarious though.

Just re-read this

It the roughest bit of my commute

That's roughest in both senses. Bad road and bad area, not somewhere I would slow down let alone stop in, especially at 8 at night.

'Rough' areas are a nightmare - had a flat recently, and made sure I stopped opposite a busy bus stop...far to many scallies about... and that was middle of the afternoon - wouldn't be stopping if late...
