Forgot

Yes I went on a bike maintenance course with big brother in Totnes, the centre of hippy lovelydom the other day.

After five minutes i thought sod this I can earn more in the time I would spend doing this than it would cost. I had been changing a tyre and practising a puncture. But I stuck with it. Short of it is I know how to fix a puncture. I am a dan hand with tyre levers and at a push I could change a brake cable but only if its not disc brakes as I have (Posh you see).

Then we moved on to gears and by 1230 by gears were completely fucked. Part me part the instructor, part big brother.

BUT I learnt that I need to nblow my tyres up. Went to the local cycling shop on Saturday, they fixed my gears in 20 mins. So I learnt......

Never do it yourself if an expert is nearby
