I just got back from a 20 Mile ride. Just as I was approaching my house, I got a rear wheel puncture. How timely was that? Only had 50 Metres to walk.

And the PF now has you firmly in her sightsNot bad.
I was luckier. I made it all the way without one![]()

LOl, Threevok the puncture fairy has been known to visit after you put your bike away.

That usually happens if I brag about how long it's been since I have had one![]()
The law of the sod has struck. Chatting after the ride with @rb58 @sagefly @topcat1 @wanda2010 @Mice et al, broken spokes cropped up, I said I had never had one go in all my life. I touched wood twice AND had a bacon sandwich but I've just done my first on the single speed. Good job it's got 32 spokes so got back alright. 15 miles at over 15mph avg.
No hurry to mend it then.I had one that I noticed as I stopped at a pub on a sunny day last week.
Yep, I used to leave my bike in the stores room here. Mid afternoon, no-one in there but the door open, 'BANG', scared half the staff witless.The PF once visited at 3 am to a 90 psi tyre in the front room directly under my bedroom nearly Sh@t myself.
