Inflate-gate

I finally got around to putting the quasi-original PureFix wheels back onto Amabo for the myriad benefits which flow from 15 teeth in the back. I neglected however to recall just what the air-pressure ought to be & was let us say overly aggressive with the pump. Plus I neglected to tighten her bolts correctly so my exuberance in the hills caused the standard avoidable Fixie Skew of the rear wheel over to the left. So the friction of the tire on the frame eventually caused a blow-out & not the kind Nancy Pelosi enjoys.

Still it was a good vigorous 12 miles.
