Frosty Posted February 27, 2021 Share Punctured about 10Km from home - a nice long piece of metal piercing the tyre.As I'm shifting back into to an easier gear, to get going after said puncture, I see a nice long, slap cable running under the down tube. This happened:Popped in at Kayalami Cycles, a place I remember going to in the late 80s to get bicycle stuff. Ended up swapping out my bar tape too - tatty white now replaced with a stealthier look. First time in 12 years I won’t have white bar tape. Edited February 27, 2021 by Frosty Pikey, gummibear, 'Dale and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoG Posted February 27, 2021 Share Thats a k@k one, hate it when you barely into a ride and something like that happens. The other day I was only 12km away from home, got a large screw in my rear tyre, two bombs later, still loosing pressure, turned out all the sealant went dry on me ... . Had to phone the wife to come pick me up. Edit: I know about Kayalami Cycles but never went there, not a fan of Alberton CBD. Are they OK to use?

NotSoBigBen Posted February 27, 2021 Share A long ass day out but loved every minute! Not sure what goes through other riders minds when you're out for long but today started off thinking about some stuff, progressed to fighting with myself and then ignored myself for the last part ...

Frosty Posted February 27, 2021 Share Edit: I know about Kayalami Cycles but never went there, not a fan of Alberton CBD. Are they OK to use?It's not the best area, given that the Dept. of Labour is a few offices down.For a Saturday morning, it was quiet, and actually a pleasure to go there.

Pikey Posted February 27, 2021 Share Have to get used to all the climbing round here. Tried to do a flat ride today ????I suppose riding more often would be good if time allowed. At least it’s picturesque ???? Bateleur1, fanievb, Long Wheel Base and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSG Posted February 27, 2021 Share Did basically the same ride 2 days ago, almost the same time of day. Weather today, headwinds, cool and overcast. 2 days ago, flat seas, no wind and hot. Hoping for rain as it's getting very dry by us.Well, we got 4mm, which is better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
