+1 and I usually head straight home, as I've only got one spare inner tube

Same, a little double action Blackburn will only get about 80psi in it any way. A lot of the lads carry those CO2 canisters to inflate the tyre after a puncture. Ron had his done in about 5 minutes on Saturday.

Yup, highly calibrated thumbs. I don't worry about it too much generally though, as long as it feels alright.

I've had all sorts of Haribo from them and very welcome it was to.

An order I placed a while ago had some "For Goodness Shakes" recovery drink satchet inside the box.

Wiggle's delivery sounds like its back to where it should be, went off par a little while ago.
