Oiltrash Posted March 22, 2008 Share 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?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted March 22, 2008 Share Nope cause punctures always happen in 3's so don't tempt fate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cois Posted March 22, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viskop Posted March 22, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
