Cois Posted October 8, 2015 Share This is the 3rd time I had this. Stop to help a helpless spider get out of my helmet. As soon as I take off... Spray from a stream of sealant attempting to seal a flat. And it is about 300meters in the same area, where I hit something on the side walk, and as soon as I start off some object opens up another tear in the tyre. Why would a tyre be more prone to a puncture as soon as you are taking off? What physics are at play here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cois Posted October 8, 2015 Share Tyre is about 3 months old. Where I get the puncture... Cement.Going there is a mix of gravel twee spoor paths, sidewalks (bricks as well as cement and gravel) where I can and tarmac.This is on my morning commutes.

SAGecko Posted October 8, 2015 Share I haven't seen sealant spraying out of a puncture yet. It's no great pleasure Eddy, believe me. I have had what seemed to be an entire bottle of Stans gum up my shirt, face, sunnies, hair and helmet on two separate but memorable occasions while riding too close to the chap in front of me... It felt like I was riding rodeo on the back of a spouting whale. I would have yelled "yeeehah!" but the Stans had glued my mouth shut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Ruinaard Posted October 8, 2015 Share Off Topic: So try putting a tube in to a previously tubeless tyre in Jhb alongside a a trail during a race where it hasn't rained for about 6 months and there is fine red dust everywhere. That is how to get Latex and talcum like red dust mixed and covering you head to foot. I must have looked like I rolled in water followed by mud - that is how much I had all over me.

SAGecko Posted October 8, 2015 Share Although, to be precise, that stuff in her hair would more correctly be called Bens than Stans.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
