First Flat

Well, it had to happen sooner or later... on this morning's jaunt over to Manly and back[1] the crosser got it's first flat... ever. A very, very slow one at that, but eventually I felt the rear was a bit wobbly and looked down to see the deflation.

Had to stop on Manly beach front and change the tube. Yeah, tough place for it to happen Stopped off at Manly Cycles to top of the inflation with their floor pump. The dude there commented on my jersey (JetBlack Sydney 24 - see, it always helps to wear MTB event jerseys when <cough>scumming</cough>).

Consulting Garmin Connect, says I've ridden 6700km on the Bianchi. Hmmm... no wonder the tires look a bit worn (yup - same set of Conti Contact touring tires on there the whole time). Guess this is not a bad record in the flat department
