Hello to all on the cycle forum, I'm new so this might sound like an easy question to answer but I'm clueless.
Bought a hybrid a while bk for a 18mile round trip to and from work, the bike cost 450, but it seems every 3 to 4 trips I get a puncture, on the bk wheel very frustrating, man at halfords who does seem to know his stuff says just bad luck and the tyres on the bike are decnt, but I spoke to someone else who said could be tyres, the journey is mainly on country roads which are smooth apart from a few bumpy bits, and a bit of flint on the sides of road, the puntures are varied as well, although the last one looked as if the wheel rim had sliced the innertube, can anyone help with advice because its costing me more in inner tubes than would petrol, really enjoy cycling but if keep getting punctures will have to not bother with commute.
Thanks,
Chris
