Wiggle postbag sitting on desk this morning containing a new tube and some nice yellow pedros levers, so now I'm guaranteed to not have a puncture for ages. (I'm at four patches on the back :) )</p> <p>My back tyre is a Conti CityContact which is reasonably new and went well for ages. Suspect is useless against Hawthorn attacks, which are a depressingly common occurence on the bit between ingliston and the RBS at gogar.</p> <p>Is it a seasonal thing? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1403#post-13190 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 16:32:56 +0000 Dave 13190@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you're getting a lot of flats, consider your tyres. I always seem to find that I go without flats forever, then suddenly they turn a tipping point and get punctured by everything.</p> <p>Expensive to replace tubes every time, I go three patches then bin. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1403#post-13185 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 15:30:51 +0000 ARobComp 13185@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I just replace tubes now unless I'm touring. Just not worth the hassle! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1403#post-13184 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 15:28:39 +0000 Stepdoh 13184@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>... another puncture on way into work saw my last patch used leaving me patch and solution-less.</p> <p>What are the odds I'll get a puncture on the way home. :) </p>
