Scary puncture...

This was a pretty scary puncture. I was going downhill pretty fast. Suddenly all the air in the rear-tire just went "Fluff!" - and I had one flat tire. I managed to get control of the bike and got i slowed down.

 

I found out the puncture was because the rim-tape had somehow broken (because of the heat), and a spoke had pierced the tube. We were not far from our destination, so we took it easy.

 

The next morning we found some new tape, and fixed all wheels. We did not wanted to risk such a puncture again when we went up to the mountains.
