Tyre blowout
Nearly forgot to mention this and maybe, it should have stayed forgotten
but had a sidewall blowout yesterday arvo on my crappy 700x23C tyres :( The road had a layer of water tending towards dry, it was a slight downhill (4-5 degrees?) of approx 350m long, and my speed was fortunately low, 20-25kph(?), so I didn't come a cropper. I just heard a sound like someone threw a firecracker at me, saw a puff of water get kicked off the wet road, and some kinda of grinding sound :) Also I was lucky that it happened about the last 50m of the downhill and I was planning to slow down anyway. I managed the 90 degree lefthand turn at the bottom of the downhill and turned into someone's driveway :) Well, gotta get new tyres now, so off to Johnno's in Kenso :) |
