Tyre Troubles

27.03.2018

Little did we know that tyres were going to be one of our major expenses on our trips. On the first big trip we limped home, having started with 6 brand new tyres and buying another 3 en route. When we arrived home the spares were shot and there was a slow puncture in one of the back tyres. So we used 9 tyres in the trip and arrived home with 3 usable ones. Possibly a record!

I was so chuffed at my first wheel change that I had forgotten to tighten the wheel nuts properly. The first inkling of disaster was the ping of a wheel nut whizzing past a local cyclists head. This was followed by a new rhythmic sound of metal on metal. I stopped. There were only two out of five wheel nuts left. The rest had sheared off. We were stuck.
