My tyres, advertised as "Bontrager's top-of-the-line triple flat protection, the best in the business". If they are that good how come I went to go out this morning and found my back tyre as flat as a pancake. Yesterday we did about 20 miles along tow paths and it has all been resurfaced to make it wheelchair friendly, resurfaced with loose grit type stuff. It's hard work pedaling along it, I wouldn't fancy propelling a wheelchair through it. Anyway, I found a small particle of grit in the tyre and a corresponding hole in the tube. So much for triple protection if the tyres cannot even keep a bit of grit out.
The hole in the tube was so small I could only find it by using a bowl of water. On the road I would have had difficulty, hence the sense of carrying not only a puncture repair kit but spare tube(s) as well.
Now the sun's shining so I am off out. Have a good day everyone.
