And just so you don't get bored.......
+ 1
Ran over a whole bunch of what looked like plastic grille pieces from a end-to-end accident today. Knew it was going to be a bad thing, and sure enough within 2 km the rear was getting soft.
New total = 9 (at) 409km per flat.

Front again. This time it was caused by a split in the tyre liner. I'm also completely out of spare tubes so will patch some. Last week I put a new rim tape on the front wheel. This week I'll put a new tyre and tyre liner.
Not that I'm expecting the puncture fairy to go away...

Got to my bike to ride home from work - flat front tyre. That's a total of 1 for the year.
Can't complain though. I've done 15,000Kms on the bike and still on my second front tyre. I think it has done about 9,000Km and still has tread. Schwable Delta Cruiser, great tyre. I have some Marathon Supremes to go on when the tyres run out of tread.

Kept the staple as a sort of trophy. It's a bit like Stalin keeping Hitler's skull on his desk (apparently).

I got all excited about it, hit some wood on the road at about 50kmh and shortly after I put on a show for the passing peak hour traffic

Cant ever really see sealant in a tube working very well due to the thickness or lack thereof with a tube. The thickness of the rubber of the tyre case is what allows the sealant to work properly.mikesbytes wrote:+1 = 13 Epping bike path this morning.
