13/shattered wheel

Scavenger Hunt 22H13 Gritty

This happened early July. We were on our way to Gloucester that day, and bounced in a massive pothole, had a shattered wheel and flat tyre, and had to go home, as the spare tyre wasn't that good.

We were very lucky that a young couple were passing and volunteered assistance, which meant half the time to change the wheel/tyre, which is a write off. Quite a shock... could have been worse if we had swerved on the road.

Quite a scenic location, with interested spectators, just past Germany Lane, on Avalon Road, near Krambach, New South Wales, Australia.


We reported the pothole to the council and it has now been filled (August 2022)

It was better value to buy FOUR new wheels and tyres than to buy one imported wheel and tyre. We had bought some silver paint to renovate the old wheels, but that's not needed any more...
