I ride alone normally, but found a young lad interested in riding, looking to buy a road bike to replace his mountain bike.
He'd bent his rear skewer and hub was broken, so I lent him the rear wheel of my mountain bike.
Off we went. 3 mile later, puncture in the rear.
Snapped a tire lever. Fixed the puncture, inflated the tyre. Sweet.
Went to disconnect the pump from the valve, the valve burst.
Fortunately we were about 300 yards from lbs, so he sorted the wheel, New rim tape, New tube and all was well.
Went to zip my 2XU jacket, zip bust. FFS!
Things come in threes alright!
Hopefully that's my bad luck gone for the summer....
