and book "cyclecraft"

is there anywhere where you can actually buy the book except the website. I have a Waterstones and WHSmiths near me, would they sell it?

fossyant, could you reinforce that statement about slime please, you know something along the lines of technical or scientific reasons. Not another mate of mine type answer, the reason I ask is because Slime works quite well for some of us.

Theres four of us living here and no one is very interested in Housework, when one of us, usually me, gets fed up with the mess we'll have a clean up.

Don't know, you could ask them, but make sure they have the latest issue before you buy.

Fossyant: I thought slime is an anti-puncture product whereas talc helps when squeezing the last few inches of tyre onto the tube. Please explain.

got mine from waterstones they had to order it in tho , took 2 days

[julesdavis1965]

oh by the way, i use slime cos i used it when i commuted after i got 2 punctures, never had another (well the next 2 years anyway) i found it works well

 

[fossyant]

Slime doesn't work full stop. Really - I use Race tyres and all sorts, this stuff doesn't work. Snake oil it's called with cars !

Talc the tube helps reduce punctures........

I've seen several copies of it in several stores of waterstones.
