Lucky Day

I'd been for a bit of a ride and the front wheel started thumping, see the left hand picture below.

The tyre had done about 6000 Kms and the point of the rupture had been a cut from long ago, the tube eventually broke through.

Decided to ride it home rather than try and effect some temporary repair, The tube wear can be seen in the right hand picture.







Anyway, to cut a long story short, replaced both the tyre and tube. The thorn resistant tubes are great, they can take all sorts of minor damage that would have otherwise zapped a normal tyre
