A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.

New rear wheel on the catrike looked good, although it really shows how much the frame twists in corners!

If only I were a couple of stone lighter it wouldn`t be so pronounced.

Is that the first flat we've had at Draycote?

I really need some WD40 for the trailer hitch don't I - I might also see if any of the video came out ;)

Yes I think it's the first flat, (worn tyres) don't put WD 40 on anything on the trike, it's a water dispersant, use spray grease, you could try covering the spring and parts of the tubing with a bit of old inner tube and a couple of tye wraps to prevent egress of muck, might also act as a squeak suppressor
