Puncture, with a little extra on the side

[squishio]

So, in the 4 years I have been riding (daily) I have never ever had a puncture, until now....

Whatever it was, stuck in, spun round and caught my brake line...

Ripped straight through my nice braided line

New tires are nice though

That sucks, New brake line needed as well as a new tyre. Remember to take it easy for the first 100 miles or so to break the new rubber in.

I had 2 nails pulled out of my rear wheel the other week, luckily though they were fixable without having to splash out for a new tyre.

Looks like the hook off a shed door latch.
