I wonder if the fact the tires on my bike were not properly inflated that caused the uncomfortableness on yesterdays ride.... Tires now pumped up as much as I could (be bothered) by hand (can just push the sidewalls inwards). Will find out tomorrow... Oh, using a mini hand pump...
Okay, just got back from a 10 mile ride, the bike felt a lot better.
The first quote was a 16 mile ride, the second was infact 15 miles, as I went out again on a 5 mile ride after I posted so, making sure there's enough air in the tires makes a huge difference to the comfort.
just pumping them up as much as I can... my little hand pump is surprisingly effective! ....
fixed...forget puntures. how about a buckled front derallier?
um, I assume that is where the rubber of the valve seperates from the rubber of the tube? if so that is not what is happening. .
