I’m probably unlucky, but did anyone else get a puncture on the cycle path between Drylaw and Craigleith? Rear deflated rapidly, I just walked to work as it was only 3km more. Changed tube at lunch, noted where hole was and checked tyre, nothing there. Tyre was flat an hour later. Turns out that there was another hole with associated MASSIVE shard of glass in the tyre, but in a different part of the tyre/tube than the original hole. 2 holes at the same time… unlucky I guess. But just wondered if anyone else had experienced the same and thus there was a potential shower of glass shards needing cleared up.

My son got a puncture Tuesday morning on the Telford path, between Craigleith and Red bridge. Same deal, well defined puncture hole, but no evidence of the culprit
But then he does have tyres barely thicker than an inner tube (that I’ll need to sort)
Bad luck I guess

I don't think I'll have any time to get along there for a few days, but B&M/Home Bargains/Screwfix/Toolstation all sell wallpaper paste brushes if anyone regularly goes that way...

@neddie it’s probably bad luck. I cycle that route regularly each week. Just hadn’t had a puncture in a looong time, and with two pretty new Grand Prix 4 Seasons to get 2 puncture holes at the same time seemed odd. But yeah, probably just unlucky.

It was my intention to go that way this afternoon , Perhas I will divert. I haven’t had a visit fro the P Fairy in a while so. I am just anticipating.

Met my pal Col returning from Craigleith - no P words. I then joined path at Craigleith. Non. P words. But both Col and I had skirted Drylaw so perhaps glass further north

It was basically at the brow of the hill next to Wester Drylaw Drive.
I might head over tomorrow not least to test the patch on the 2nd tube which I’m not convinced is holding.
