Punctures on jobrug roads

[applezunepod]

Anyone else experiencing more than average punctures on joburg roads.

 

 

 

Flippin' hell seem to get them almost weekly.

 

 

 

Luckly got Gatorskins. My flats have been pinch punctures, all the potholes from the rain I guess.

No.

Cant really say that I do - actually had more punctures two to three weeks ago when we had all that rain - much better now.

 

Punctures aren't my problem... this bloody high tempo pace on Friday mornings!!! What's up with that? Dr Suess and myself tried to have a chat this morning, but through every corner the guys are going 600+ watts? WTF?

 

Dont get me wrong - I am all for a good tempo ride... but preferably on Thursdays. But... no one had a puncture this morning that I am aware of!?

my punctures seem to be more pinches too, but i'm not riding enough for it to be an huge issue in my life at the moment.

One of the reasons i prefer to ride road with my MTB.

[Li Mu Bai]

dont ride thru potholes!

[FlyingCheetah]

Try bunny-hopping over the potholes

[Delgado]

Always after the rains the punctures will follow....

I have a road bike and avoid potholes at all costs where possible, the ones that catch me are the ones I don't see or are hard to see.

 

 

 

Also I'm not sure the many speed humps on my route help. I try stand to 'soften' the speed humps, I bet both my tires and ass appreciate that

don't be like jason and ride over a pothole that you thought was a puddle.

It's simple.......Watch where you are riding and ensure that your tyre pressure is as per the manufacturers recommended pressure and you will have no more problems.....

 

That will be R5 sir, monies can be deposited and will be used for Cycle Safe Signs...................
