have looked into why i had a big off at round 2
and this is why!!!! the valve has been blown off the tube.
so on my landing from the hump.. i had no chance of keeping the bike upright!!
the front tyre was flat.. here is the photo..

Ooooh nasty :(
How is your head Von ?
Ouch!! That'll be why the footpump didn't put any air in!
A little off - road tip, don't tighten the valve nut down to the rim, use it as a locknut for the dustcap. That way you can see at a glance (pitstops etc!) if the tyre is "creeping" round the rim by the valve being at an angle, hopefully before it rips the valve off! And it gives a bit more flexibilty to the valve and thus time before that happens. :)
My head is fine now Mandy thanks for asking... was a miner concussion.. just made me more dizzier than usual.... i know i shouldn't make light of it!!.. i had to close one eye to get back to the pits (double vision )..:eek:
hows your arm ?
thanks for the tip Dr grimm.. un thanks for the use of pump :)
The bruise has joined up now and is huge, black and still rather painful.... I hate to think how GLC's Nicola feels :(
My pleasure on both countsQuote:
