I'm probably stuck with the kids (loving father huh!) this weekend since SWMBO is working and need to sort the rear tyre on the blade anyway as the existing one is down to the markers (can't think why...). I've got a spare in the garage that has been sitting for about 2-3 yrs (I replaced it with a new one when going touring the Alps but it only had a couple of thousand on it so kept it). Question is whether it's safe to put a tyre on that's been lying about for that long (dry conditions). I reckon the sensible answer is 'no' but maybe it'll see me through on the odd few runs left this year ready for replacement next spring - hmmmmm...
