Puncture advice -

Recommended Posts

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?...LOL

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.

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.

Something that helped me was correct tyre pressure,I used to pump my tyres 6 - 7 bars ,now do 8.Has made a notable difference.
