Had a fantastic ride home last night with a tail wind, took a detour to add 5 miles on going so well, big mistake farmer cutting his hedges with a tractor, thorn puncture! Went from great ride :D to awful. :oops:
Sick of punctures lately had 4 in three weeks two each wheel, two thorns and two unavoidable due to traffic potholes

    Replacement tYres perhaps, but I think the optimum number of tYres to run on a bicycle is 2

    actually i meant buy another two and double up on each wheel, two tires=double protection, just like condoms. :P

    I prefer the dutch cap - not sure how well that works on a bike?

    That wouldn't have anything to do with all the food she ate- it would be her metabolic rate and her thyroid issue- said as she eats another tube of pringles to wash down the creamcake

    Possibly, but the pill was her excuse. The cakes I put in my tyre did nothing for puncture protection.
