rattlesnake Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 So a few weeks ago I was stupid enough to post a topic on how I had never punctured.... well guess what... at the 103km (no 108kms... thnx to marshalls messing up) crater cruise today, i punctured not once, not twice... yes 3 TIMES!!! all in a space of 10kms.... Just wanted to say thanks (if he is a hubber) to a mountain biker named Mark who not only gave me a tube, but stopped twice for me to pump up my tyre when my c02 bomb was done. As for the roadies that refused to help..... u were probably so grumpy bcos u were so slow.... Anyways this post goes to hopefully appeasing the puncture gods... hope they satisfied now that i have punctured....
Cassie Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 That will learn you!!! Do not mess / mention that word to the puncture gods... So, what were the 3 causes in the race? All the same or different?
Weight Weenie Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 Well ive had a disk bolt fall out and broke a spoke this week so hopefully I'll have no mechanicals during the 3 towers

kosmonooit Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 I rode through some thorns on the cruise, some really nasty knarly ones, that embedded into my tire. Pulled them out, and cherished the day I went tubeless
rattlesnake Posted October 11, 2010 Author Posted October 11, 2010 That will learn you!!! Do not mess / mention that word to the puncture gods... So, what were the 3 causes in the race? All the same or different? First one was a big thick nail..... pulled it out, put in a tube and off i went.... 2nd time, same tyre flat again... couldn't find anything in the tyre or see an obvious puncture.... Begged someone for a spare tyre... pumped it up and off i went..... 10 minutes later... flat again..... Pumped it one more time and off i went.... got me to the finish and was flat 30 minutes later again.... aargh
