That stutter ain't getting any better Dan
Have you come up with a route yet? Or are we following the smell of coffee and cake?

Could be a good turn out this, just need a bit of luck with the weather now.

Boooooooooooo another puncture. Second one I've had in a little over a month. Now I learned my lesson on the first and am proper anal about tyre pressures - 110 psi practically every time I ride. Maybe those pot holes are to blame! On both occasions the puncture is a split along the seam of the tube rather than something puncturing the tyre itself - cheap tubes??

Maybe I need to upgrade the stock tyres/inner tubes?? I'm still running the Bontrager stuff that came with the Trek. Also discovered the cheap as chips pump I got from Decathlon is useless so that's in the bin. Hmm

EDIT: sorry maybe this shouldn't be posted here!

I've found the Bontrager tubes as good as any tbh, what tyres are you using?
I think luck as much as equipment is very important.

#Danbo- I'll have lost another half a stone before the ride, gonna be my lightest for years

Tyre's are Race Lite dual compound's. Which after some googling seem to be a middle of the road tyre. I noticed the front (both punctures on the front) tyre has a split on the side wall which is big enough to just see the the tube inside. So I think I will invest in some better tyres and tubes at the same time.

Wheels are Bontrager Race too btw so possibly need to look at them next payday

110 psi ouch hehe, I keep mine at 100-105 psi.

That's it potts- follow yer nose. I'm just glad fossys comin.

 

[thesaintjason]

Just to follow up have ordered some Durano+ and some Conti tubes so will see if things improve on the reliability front. Running into work at the minute though as getting back on the MTB after a few weeks of the Trek was horrid yesterday.

 

[fossyant]

I'll come up with a route - shouldn't be much different from before, but thinking of going out a slightly different way
