Puncture!

Bloody screw, right in the middle of the rear Avon.

Borrowed a foot pump at work, got home, plugged it and all's well.

Took longer to reinflate than to fit the plug.

Bit warm, mind: now considering buying a bottom of the range
compressor for such exertions.

Got one of those: it's shite for air.

I was thinking of a proper 240v jobbie.

 

A bit OTT for tyres. Although, I suppose you don't have a Shitrun sitting
on the drive with a big mofo battery to drive a *proper*[1] 12V one.

[1] a 20yo Hilka that will inflate a truck tyre

 

just bought one with a 240v inverter in for £40 something

 

Rather, all was well. Flat as a pancake this morning.

Two new Avon Storms later, £196 lighter, and hopefully, all's properly
well now.
