Today's Bike Ride

[Graham Breeze]

My new tubeless tyres arrived for the road bike so put it on yesterday. I say it because the first one went on no probs, just pumped it up and it seated first time ������. Easy peasy, on to the other wheel and a couple of hours swearing later and I'm no further forward with it, even trying a method with a strap that has worked well before.
A mate in the village has a high pressure cylinder thing so taking it round to his place late afternoon, that has worked before as it's the tool for the job. Another of those gadgets that one wants but don't want to spend loads of cash on to use once every 2 years. That's cycling for you.

Alas I fear you are already behind the curve.

The current thing is a device whereby you lower the tyre pressure while riding on, say, cobbles and then raise it again for the smooth tarmac - all from a lever on your handlebars.

Oh do keep up!
