Amy and Kyle's Around the world challenge

[Alex321]

Has Lael Wilcox suffered any punctures yet?

They wouldn't even be reported with her. She is riding fully supported, so would just swap the wheel and somebody in the support van would then fix it.

I'd be getting Amy to learn to fix a puncture. Kyle must be getting a bit sick of it. She'd get plenty of practice.

She can fix punctures fine now, she's done a few in her videos.
Probably just that Kyle is quicker.

What is the world record for punctures on a RTW record attempt?

Even in the UK, Amy and/or Kyle seem to get a puncture every other ride. I go for months without getting one and I ride 200+ miles most weeks. It’s not a great advert for their tyre sponsor - is it Panaracer?

I'd bin the tyres, sponsored or not. Done it before with commuting tyres. Ditched Conti 4 seasons (yes they are good) for Durano Plus - slower but didn't cut with all the glass I was picking up on a shared use path.

All they need to do is get out a sharpie like the pro's do. BUT, I'm guessing Panaracer has left deliveries for them at specific points on their ride (hotels etc) for them to change.

Sometimes you need to try something else - it's almost every day currently.

Maybe they are sponsored by Lifeline and have been supplied with their puncture repair kits?

I'd be having a word if you knew what was making holes..... flints/glass other shoot..

I wonder when Amy/Kyle will start secretly putting liners inside those Panaracers.

It's a sponsorship opportunity for Tannus!

They should be on the "plus" version of the tyre which have really good protection and still roll well, but I bet they are on the regular version, which are notoriously porous.
