Hi All,
Just wondered what people did with punctures on road bikes? If you have a puncture do you buy a new one or use a repair kit - just with the size of them I was thinking repairing was pointless.
Also I am having some trouble with my back derailuer; the hanger. When I change gears on the left handle bars (controlling the gears at the crank) it takes time for them to change from 1 to 2 or to 3. I was out at the weekend and someone said that the hanger at the back was bent. I had the bike in at the bike shop to get some work on it and had new gear cables put on - would a bet derailuer be noticeable to someone in a bike shop especially when fitting new cables?
Any advice welcome!
