Found a nail in my rear tyre today, forty miles from home and what to do? There I was outside my mate Al's bicycle shop with access to tools, tube repair kit, air line, etc but no (safe) way of getting the back wheel off the bike! Imagine trying to change a car wheel without a jack, so now straight to the top of my things to do list is FIT A CENTRE STAND. Another friend fetched a couple of cans of 'flat mate' from a garage which saved the day (I'll never leave the house by bike again without a can of that stuff) just horsed the stuff in and rode home. The tyre is still up but it could have been different, in the middle of nowhere with no phone signal I would have been right in the sh!te. Anybody else been marooned the same way?
