Thanks Andy. Looking forward to having a play on the plain soon. Then hopefully I'll be able to join you all on the next ride out down there without looking like a complete basket-case :-)

Enjoying the videos. Very good.

Cheers

I carried front and rear tube with tools to take wheels out and trye levers also a small electric pump

Rick � just out of interest what do you carry to break the bead on the back wheel?? � After I picked up a rear puncture a couple of months ago I've been sorting out a more appropriate tool kit, but the one thing that eludes me is something portable to break the bead as I struggled to get the tyre off last time (ended up calling a friend who has one of those home-workshop tyre jig thingies � he did it for me), but I'd like to be a bit more self-sufficient

I put the bike on the center stand, and use the side stand to break the bead.

I just lean the bike over so the side stand on the tyre and the bead breaks every time (so far, 3 tyre changes) including today just refitted my road tyres

Nice � Wouldn't have thought of using the bike itself, but it makes sense.

Am I right in thinking only the back wheel has the safety ridge?
