Re:
gotta keep the energy levels topped up Clubby
Today I made myself go deaf for a few minutes...
I swapped some tyres around and whilst pumping one up noticed something was wrong on the "other" side of the tyre, I leant over the wheel and had a closer look, the bead wasn't seated properly and the inner tube was ballooning out between rim and tyre.
In the couple of seconds it took me to think "hmm... that's not right!" there was an almighty "BANG!!" as the tube exploded :shock:
It popped just as I was leaning over the wheel, having a good close look at the problem, I doubt I could have got my face much closer if I'd tried
Once the ringing in my ears had subsided I fitted a new tube, and made sure the tyre was properly seated this time!
