Replace 2 with " check your tyre for sharp objects and your rim-tape for uncovered spoke holes when you change a tube. Otherwise the same thing that caused your first puncture will puncture your new tube" and your advice will be correct.

 

+1 Also, a self adhesive patch takes no space and weighs nothing.

I assumed that that was unnecessary to state ... but perhaps not hey. :blush: (LOL)

Another very cool "feel good" story! Kind of restores one's hope in humanity after all the foul stuff that happened the week before the Argus - referring obviously to the wheel and pepper spray wielding in Camps Bay. Kudos Wesley!

Thanks to the chap who gave me a tube on chappies this afternoon after I punctured and then blew up the spare. Tried fixing the puncture but the patch didn't hold.

Always thankful when a good Samaritan  turns up but dont forget to pay it forward .

saturday morning I'm cruising along and I see a cyclist standing on the side of the road, slumped over his handlebars. It really looked like he was trying to recover from falling or something. So I slowed right down and start asking him if he is ok as I approach from behind.

This is when he lifted up and bit to answer me and I see the camera resting on his handlebars, using them as a make shift tripod to capture the rising sun.

Hope I didnt ruin his shot
