Capri Wheeler Posted August 12, 2009 Share Was thinking about the tip of week-about putting fishing line between your fork above our tire to take out small stones and glass to prevent punctures... quite creative but maybe bit risky. what your thoughts - anyone ever tried this?

Guest Big H Posted August 12, 2009 Share You could buy a "scraper" that mounted on your brake bolt. The idea was the same. I think this will work. Not sure how long the fishing line will last and how you are going to tension it. I am sure the knots or whatever you use to fix it will break if the line catches the tire so I see no real risk in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louis0852 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Fish line wont work, use the scraper idea. Can't see that not working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat-i Posted August 12, 2009 Share way back when i was still a capie, i had a friend who rode with a piece of rope - could have been fishing line. it was a roadbike, i wouldn't try (nor need) this on an MTB - he rode with it all year, dont know if he ever needed to replace the line Hagar maybe you know the guy? Joe - can't remember the surname - from Vredenburg, he was a runner crossing over to cycling ... got diagnosed with cancer and ran marathons between the chemo-sessions, such a gentle and strong guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog_ Posted August 12, 2009 Share If something is in my tyre and it's not leaking, or leaking slowly, I would rather keep it there until I'm done with my ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
