Hey guys - i'm very puncture prone (which is in part due to where i cycle) - I have my first sportive on Sunday and my girlfriend has bought my some of that squirty gunk to go in my tubes - firstly, has anyone used this and does it work? There seems to be some discussion about the extra weight it adds to the bike too - are these people the ones who would consider having their teeth removed to cut the weight or is it a genuine notcieable difference
The other question I have (while we're discussing weight) is about tyre pressure - i have cont gatorskins on with spesh tubes and ride at 120 - i'm also a lump! 6ft 5 and 18.7 stone - is it possible that the combination of the 2 is contributing to the punctures? Should i be cycling at lower pressures?
Thanks in advance - i'm really glad i joined this forum - as i've asked some questions that are a but dumb, but the community here is VERY supportive
