Went for a spin with Onfire last night to test out my new rubber - Pirelli Corsa's from Elliots in Cricklade
Great ride, a tall coke at the pub then gets back on the bike for the last leg to Cirencester when.......
Coming round a right-hander at about 75mph and the steering totally locks up and I just about make it out the other side - feels like somebody has put a pole through the forks.
I pull over (****ting bricks) to find the front tyre is totally flat - no warning, no weaving beforehand.
No apparant damage to the tyre so I can only assume the valve failed.
Luckily I have a spare set of wheels (with wets) so we called the Mrs out with bike stands and appropriate tools and swapped the front wheel.
It was even luckier cos I had offered Onfire a ride on the prilla 5 minutes earlier...........
How fecked off with Elliots should I be? Has this happended to anybody else? >>
