Oiltrash Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 1400 km's done on my road bike and 1000km's on my mtb without a puncture. The question: Do I stab one of my wheels and self inflict a puncture so that the Tyre Gods don't get me during my next race?...
Skye Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Nope cause punctures always happen in 3's so don't tempt fate
Oiltrash Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 So what if I stab the 2 on my Roadbike and 1 on my MTB?
SeanMort Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Umm .. you did have a broken spoke though the night before Argus Does that count ?

Oiltrash me thinks you must speak to Fatty he is is the puncture guru he will tell you exactly what to do . He says its really very simple even tossed his bike in the bushes day of the Argus he got it real bad shame
Cois Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Don't tempt the puncture gods. Trust me. I had about 7000 km without a single flat. Sold my old wheels and then had trouble all the way. Just last week I had 4 punctures. Just got my road bike out of storage today, so hope that the streak ended.
Viskop Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 It's funny how you can go without a puncture for so long but when they start you get 10 in a week.I find that the more I think about how crap it would be to puncture I usually puncture.
MTB0007 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 I Would love to know what to do , I've had 4 punctures this week... So if anyone can give me some serious good advice...I would be forever greatful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1NEWBY00072008-03-23 13:29:27

davidd Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 For fear of of my first puncture i will not comment on this thread.
bobbie Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Skye is right - they definitely happen in 3's... have had mine.. hope the puncture gods find someone else.... soon!!
