Hi folks,

That's nasty, Chris L, the smoke must be really unpleasant.

Last night I managed (in the dark) to ride straight into an enormous pothole at 18 mph. The bone jarring impact caused a really messy pinch puncture of the front tube, which instantly went flat. Fortunately I carry a spare. The amazing thing (apart from not falling) is that the wheel seems fine, which is lucky because I just had a spoke repaired and the wheel re-trued.

Must remember about the hole on the way home!

Cheers,

Ed
