Annoying one this morning.

I have a slow puncture in my rear tyre, which has meant pumping it up every 2-3 days for the last couple of weeks. Had no chance to fix it last weekend, was going to do it this weekend, but it seems to have become rather less "slow", and I needed to pump it up twice on the hour long commute this morning. I do have a decent mini-pump always on the bike, so it wasn't too onerous a task.

We do have a bike maintenance station in the bike room in this office, so I'll pop down at lunchtime and swap the tube, though it can be a pain getting the (marathon+) tyres on and off.

Hopefully tyre comes off/on relatively easily.
Lunchtime repairs can be a bit hit-and-miss w.r.t. time spent, in my experience!
