So I'm hurtling up and down the SVT last night on a jaunt to Hayfield and I get the distinct impression that things are somewhat of a drag. I put it down to the mud, cold and a lack of tea before venturing out and decide to carry on. So imagine my disgust when I get all the way back to Hazel "Nobbin" Grove to discover I've got two slowies. A quick wristfull in both tubes sped things up and got me through the next few miles.
When I get the tyres off at home I discover one small prick and three holes! Instead of snuggling up I now had half an hour or so of fumbling under the rim, sticky fingers, vulcanised rubber and some frantic pumping.
gggrrrr

😯 I have a disturbing mental image now. Can someone pass the Mind Bleach please>

+1 PDF very disturbing and slightly disgusting!
Oh I dunno, Hoops is a good looking chap and whatnot, some frantic pumping to keep you warm on a January evening might be quite welcome
Time to go tubeless?

I count 7 double-entrendres; chapeau sir.

I ordered a double entendre in a pub once.
The barmaid gave me one.
(I'll get me coat...)
Tubeless seems like an additional expense. I'm sticking with tubes for sentimental reasons.....for now.

"S****s.."
The worst thing is the paranoia about whether it'll still be up at the end of the day. It's like Schrodinger's cat every time I go for a quick pinch.
they stopped sending the memos in 2001 - once everyone was using tubeless
with tubeless you can have multiple penetrations with, at worst, a bit of oozing
there's a small chance of getting covered in milky fluid but it's a chance worth taking IMO - nobody likes a fumble in the forest when it's all dark
[stands up and applauds scaredypants] good show!

I genuinely took that to be a reference to topping up the Stans fluid!
Wasn't til I reached
