Got out for a run.
Ran harder and faster than planned/expected.
Sweat a lot and found it hard.
But this is good.

Oh it’s finally not raining, I’ll go out on the bike over lunch for 40k or so.
Gets to turn around point to have a wee snack, check phone etc…
Hears “pffsshhhhh” sound of doom.
Glass gone right through tyre and left a small hole. Figure I might be able to nurse myself home or at least close to a train station.
Attempts to change tyre. GP5000s appear to now be welded onto my rims.
Slices fingers trying to remove. Snaps one tyre lever.
Getd new tube in and wrenches tyre back on with much swearing.
Stupid little hand pump doesn’t seem to be working.
Oh wait no, I’ve broken the valve pin thing in the new tube somehow.
Gives up. Calls father in law to collect me on drive of shame home.
25km, two hours, one ripped finger nail and an appointment at the local bike shop for tomorrow.
I’m so shit at this

I has Been “ modified “ with some nice bits
But It hasn’t even got matching wheels at the min ?
It is however the one that fits me the best
Ha no I mean posting about your lovely 120k out in the sunshine after my disaster of a ride
To which I should also add I’m majorly sunburnt. So not a successful day.

Sorry ..!
I nearly asked ( but have probably missed it I was rushing to get to shops .. are your gp 5000”s tubeless or tubes?)
Hope the bike shop visit goes well and the cut heals quick.

I change a tubed GP5000 for the first time the week before Outlaw Half Notts. Nearly broken my thumbs 
Hate to think how bad tubeless are. My tubeless are Schwalbe Pro Ones. Not changed one yet

As per the OWS thread… 614m ish meter swim.
Couldnt get up for a morning ride and work meant no lunch run and OWS meant no run after work.
Poor day but there is always tomorrow, need sleep now.

I put a brand new 28 mm gp 5000 on a zipp fc 808 rear with no levers in the last week ?!?
If you knew just how crap I am at anything mechanical … you wouldn’t believe me ..
23 mm ones onto my non branded disc .. I snapped two levers and ended up taking it to the LBS.
Steadily upgrading : getting parts for the Orro I bought .. as much as I’d like to leave the tyres on ( they are so puncture proof) as Poet says they are sooo slow
I want 30 mm faster tyres .. just deciding between tubed / tubeless

Maybe you were lucky or have just got the technique down. Probably a bit of both.
