On the way to work today I had my first puncture of the year. What was strange is that although the
Continental Gatorskins (700cx23)were easy to fit initially (2 weeks ago) I had tremendous difficulty
refitting them after the repair. The 'free' end of the bead retreated away as I forced on the other
end with my thumbs. Even trying with the tyre levers was unsuccessful as the free ends moved away as
the levers started to tension the bead. It was slightly wet underfoot but not raining. Any advice or
ideas VERY VERY welcome. Thanks.
