I got my 1st puncture since getting the bike last august, but luck was with me, it was flat this morning before I went out.
The last time I fixed a puncture was about 12 years ago on my son's bike. and then I used spoons out of the kitchen draw to get the tyre off the rim.This morning It was like role reversal, 10 years ago it was me helping my son, this morning he was helping me (my fingers are quite sore due to the cold weather)
We spotted a small piece of glass in the tyre, we had to use a pair of tweezers to get it out, and checking the tyre over there was quite a cuts on it. so will have to pick up a new tyre on my travels this week, and keep the old one as a spare.
