Well that made my ears ring a bit.

Top tip: make sure the tyre is properly on the rim on both sides before giving it some beans with the inflator...

Looks like I need a new inner tube, there aren't any patches in the kit big enough for that one.

When we were kids we liked doing skids which in turn wore big holes in the tyres, being poor dad used to cut strips of old carpet and put them inside the tyres to cover the hole!

Applying Super glue to an inflated tube hole, was only 7, seemed like a good idea, stoke Mandeville eye hospital though otherwise... I miss my Raleigh Tomahawk

I cut 50mm wide strips of thin roofing rubber and line my tyres , seems to keep the punctures down, plus Slime in the tubes and a couple of gas refills usually gets me home.

I have to say I dont know how we survived as kids the scrapes we used to get in!

Wasted all afternoon cutting the top off a leaking copper water cylinder , I assumed it was hard soldered and would be an easy fix, turned out to be silver soldered probably induction brazed and i had to get the oxy propane on it to get the joint separated, it took so much heat to get apart that the joint is never going to solder again.

Straight in the copper scrap bin

Cut the top and bottom off and down the vertical joint ,they flatten to some nice copper sheet . It's what i did with the last cylinder I had just scrapped the coil well most of it .
