I flatted halfway through an XC race a few years ago. I didn't have any spares (because I'm an idiot). I actually gained places, the course was that rough. No body said anything when I pushed my bike across the line wearing a "Walkers Wheels" jersey.
I think he uses about 2:1. reasonably standard off-road ratio.
Yup, he's a good man. Don't tell him I said that. |
