Ethical Dilemma

    The other week I was riding on an old railway line trail, when I came upon a chap with a rather flat rear tyre. I stopped to help as I had a repair kit. Unfortunately the tube was damaged at the valve, probably due in part to it being a 700c tube with a presta valve stuffed into a 26″mtb wheel, and was unfixable. Now here is my dilemma, I had a spare tube, of the correct size as I was on my MTB, but I did also have a further 20 miles along rough paths to go. Now as his wheel was held on with a nut, it became a moot point as we had no spanners.

    Would you have helped him out with the new tube, but then be potentially stuck with a long walk.

    I was meeting my family for a nights camping and would not have been able to get a lift due to the missus having already cracked into the beers.

    You couldn’t have got the
    You couldn’t have got the wheel off so as you say it’s a moot point.
    If you could have got the wheel off I would have helped. You had a repair kit and how many times do you get a puncture? Mine you serves the silly sausage right for not having the right kit with him.
