The sound of hammering, followed closely by swearing. I spot Matt with a BMX bike in the stand, bashing a ratchet spanner with a mallet...
Me: "What are you doing?"
Matt: "Just changing a tube..."

No one can ride a mountain for you. Be prepared to feel so tired that you truly believe you cannot go on. Be ready to admit to fatigue and, yes, dejection. There is no such thing as an easy ride up a mountain.
About Me
- brettok
- Wellington NZ, Newcastle AU
- A recovering DJ and musician and lifelong habitual bike rider, my world revolves around pedalling, writing, wrenching and swilling.... Born and bred in Newcastle NSW Australia, I have been living in the windy city of Wellington, New Zealand since January 2007. I came for the mountain biking, and stayed for the... mountain biking and road riding. I don't much care if you don't want to hear about it, I'm going to tell you anyway.

Matty ,I have other mates who hit bikes with hammers -and they are mechanics
They use real hammers -good ole 'ball and pane' -not a soft fuzzy mallet
Maybe he should've used a BALL PEEN hammer... coz the bike came back today with the same tyre flat!
Nice - i love being wrong - CRACK
