Just before I left home to attempt smashing Simon and Deej's Wada toge record (you boys know what I'm talking about) I was about to lube my chain and noticed that I was holding insect spray instead of my lube. Same size can, same extender nozzle thingy! I put it down to being early. Made me smile though, as I wondered if anyone else has ever been so stupid
Point 1 - Check to make sure it is indeed bicycle lube that you have in your hand!
Continuing on with my Wada Toge story, I bet Deej's knees are shaking now, I got a puncture about 35km into my ride. It's my first one in a year so I was kind of surprised. Anyway, after changing tubes I started inflating the new one only to find it too had a hole!!!
Luckily I has some spare patches and fixed it managing to limp home with a slow leak.
Point 2 - It might be a good idea to check your spare tube has no holes every month or so.
I hope this little bike clinic has helped someone else out there
Oh Deej, you can breathe easier now as I didn't even make it to the start point. :bike:
