  1. This morning, I went to yesterday's bike and the rear was completely flat.
    Pumped it back to 120psi with the track pump, no leak so so I rode in on it.
    Checked it mid afternoon and the rear was very soft.
    Used the road morph but I could only read the BAR values.
    Researched, aha 120psi=8 BAR (actually 115) so I pumped it up after work.
    The road morph's folding T-handle made it possible, the glove helped.
    The gauge seemed quite jerky but reads close enough to the track pump.
    Only 80psi when I got home in 45mins, the tube has got to go!

    I like "went to yesterday's bike". Everyone should have a different bike for each day of the week. 😄

    Before you chuck it, check that the leak isn't caused by the valve core
    not being tight enough. Sometimes, especially if you use valve caps, you
    can unscrew the valve core a bit inadvertently.

    Shame to waste a tube unnecessarily.
