Odd punctures - two in one run!
Posted: Sun May 17, 2020 1:30 pm
I took my Elan for a run yesterday; for my mental health and to get some running in miles done. The Elan ran well.
So that was all very lovely until I got a puncture:
I found a safe place to put the spare on, so all good again. About a couple of miles from home the handling felt a bit odd. A quick check found a rear tyre only half inflated so I got home straight away. Only just made it home:
How odd is that. I've checked the tyres for obvious signs of puncture and can't find any. I'm thinking the inner tubes may be the problem. I'll post what I find when I get them repaired. Hopefully I haven't trashed the tyres.
I also had a go with my new GoPro camera. I've had some good advice on Facebook (thank you Colin) about reducing the wind noise, so hopefully I can improve the sound in the future. Here's a link to the video:
