Puntures per miles ...who has the best ratio?

[Bigtallfatbloke]

Ok I have had 3 puntures in 3500 miles this year...erm so that's a % ratio of...hmmm....where's that calculator

 

[Cycling Naturalist]

I've done about 4,000 miles since I last had a puncture.

 

[Frazer]

Dont get me started....probably 6 or 7 punctures in the last 1500 miles. Last time i went out for a long ride, over 100km, i made it to within 500 yards of my house puncture free. Then, not one, but BOTH tyres punctured at exactly the same time, I have no idea what did it, can't find anything lodged in the tyres and its only very small punctures, but boy was I p*****d off.

So that makes my ratio one puncture per 250 miles, which sounds about right with the luck i've had recently.

Probably something like 1 puncture in 3000 miles. At a rough guess.

Patrick,

Your tricycle, the red one with Bob the Builder on, has solid tyres. That's why you don't get punctures.

Bugger, you beat me to it!! !

Best I've seen on a club run is 5 puntures in the space of 150 yards. and one of us had 3 puntures in that time, And i got my first rear punture this year in 4 years of cycling

You are so doomed.

I'm not saying. I'm not as blase in the face of the Fairy as Patrick is.

 

[alecstilleyedye]

don't know the milage, but only 2 punctures in 1.5 years commuting every day plus out at the weekends.

That's another poor fool on the Fairy's list....

 

[Aperitif]

4 in the last 3500km...but I'm careful not to use the word puncture - it's unluckpppfffffffffffffffffffffffft!

no, she gets her kicks from the fact that the tyres are a bugger to put on in the first place. i'm pre-misseried.

On the commuter I've had 2 of those P things since I bought the bike in March (2700mls). On the Sirrus I've had 1 in 2000mls (club run at the start of the year) and on the Bianchi its 0 in 1000mls.

Four in the last last 2 rides each about 30 odd miles so currently running at 1 every 15 and a bit miles or so.
