Brompton Rear Puncture
After 3,500 miles of trouble free cycling on my trusted Brompton, I
got a rear tyre puncture late last night. Oh bugger - now I have to master the art of a Brompton rear wheel removal - puncture repair and replace the current Marathon tyres with Marathon Plus tyres. Oh what joy awaits. But it will have to wait until next weekend. I'm off to Hamburg tomorrow morning. Can anyone recommend a decent curry house? |

Removing the rear wheel of a pushbike. Tricky one that. You are bound to need a comprehensive instruction book. Oh what joy awaits. But it will have to wait until next weekend.

As a "professional" handyman, I expect that Meds can do it without instructions. I certainly could. I have an angle grinder, I could have that off in seconds. I do actually carry out a few bicycle repairs - for my 9 year old granddaughter - she rides a bicycle like many children. I can see Cwispin now, instruction book in one hand (I suspect he reads many books one handed), spanner in the other, trying to remember which way is anticlockwise. -- Dave - Cyclists VOR.

We were toying with the idea of getting a ferry from Copenhagen to Lubeck to avoid the long drive from Copenhagen to Hamburg in 2010, but in the end we drove as it worked out cheaper. -- Simon Mason |
