woosh 
Iāve got a 5000 on the bike of the propel and a crappy giant tyre on the front, the back wheel is much faster

Iād not be riding with you if thatās the case.
I give people with mismatched tyres or dirty bikes a wide berth - as in my experience it usually means theyāre a mechanical waiting to happen (which means I miss my 1330 curfew and get into trouble)

Haha, itās a new bike and I didnāt want to change both tyres the night before a race!
Iām pretty much the exact opposite, anyone with everything matched hasnāt got a clue what theyāre doing theyāve just walked into a store and got something and wonāt be carrying anything they need to fix any mechanicals or have noticed anything that indicated a mechanical was coming.
Always remember my first club run in canada, Iād been in the country 18 hours, in which Iād bought an old cervelo without wheels, adjusted it to fit, put a tyre on the random garage wheel that was in the house and joined it, everyone there on near new bling matching carbon - within 20km someone had broke a chain, everyone seemed to think it was completely reasonable for them to get a cab home - I gave them a quick link from my bag and on we rode. The next mechnanical was just a tubular puncture, of course no spare or sealant or anything and they did get a cab home.

Funny you should say that; as on Sunday I was on tubs and had a spare tyre and a can of sealant.
I also carry a chain/multi-tool (Parktool IB3) and a couple of spare links.
Also a valve core remover and couple of valve cores.
And chamois Creme.
And a soy sauce fish filled with oil.
Pump, CO2 canisters, latex gloves, duct tape stuck to the seat post, a few zip ties etc.
Have a bit more if riding clinchers or more than 100 miles.
Wife doesnāt drive, so if I break down, I have to get home myself.

Iād usually agree, but this is poet and heās very organised to the point of OCD I think 
My GF doesnāt drive so I generally have to fix things or make my own way home, in about 15 years Iāve had one bail out, just a couple of months ago when my sister came for me luckily. By that point I had a 7cm gash in my tyre that I couldnāt get anything to close it with, used 3 tubes so it was game over!
I have survived broken chains and spokes in the past.

Broke the TT bike out for the first time this year on tonightās brick session.
Wafting along a country lane on the extensions for what seems like minimal effort after a winter slogging away in the shed

You need to go out at ātractor timeā for a mahoosive ego boost 
Oh, and cheers @jeffb - I think?
Iāve had catastrophic failures in the past, so each time add the solution to my saddle bag

Come on letās not bugger about. Put the big boy gears on
Also - those are PlanetX 80/100 tubs right? How did you get the decals off? Sorry, may have asked you that before

Got Bolton though and Iāll only need to change it back.
Got the PX82/101 wheels second hand (barely used!) for Ā£225 with no decals.
I bought the bike without wheels for Ā£400.
So a right ****** bargain 
10 speed tubular with rim brakes is bargain basement territory

2 hours in the ā bubbles ā hydrotherapy pools basically.
Stretching, very basic core movements, arm swings, side bends etc.
Pretty much in pieces after last week, had all sorts planned today but none of it happened.
Sometimes you have to listen to your body, and it was screaming today.
