G'day all,
Thought I would share a close call I had on the way home for work yesterday. Was rounding a right hander not far from home when the back tyre lost all pressure in an instant. Naturally, the back end went all soft and wobbly and I avoided dropping the bike by putting my right foot down and pulling up slow. Turns out my tyre pressure was far too low (my own fault for not checking it) and it caused the valve to tear away from the tube.
A good reminder to all that you should always check your tyre pressures!
Cheers
Hubie.
