    ... another puncture on way into work saw my last patch used leaving me patch and solution-less.

    What are the odds I'll get a puncture on the way home. :)

    I just replace tubes now unless I'm touring. Just not worth the hassle!

    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.

    Expensive to replace tubes every time, I go three patches then bin.

    I got home surprisingly safe and well (and that tailwind, whee!). 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 :) )

    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.

    Is it a seasonal thing?
