If you get visited by the p***ture fairy maybe one of these could help. Has anyone tried them?
That why I use Conti GatorSkinsgoo_mason said:TJust get some Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres, which are the best protection you can get. Although saying that, I got a flat last week after crunching over a hidden bottle (under leaves) and sending a 1-inch shard of glass straight through the protective layers....![]()
I came across three smashed buckfast bottles, glass completely covering the Roseburn path earlier this year (goo can probable remember it). On the way out I got off and walked across, but forgot it was there on the way home and cycled strait across it. Not a single p**cture. Yep, I miss using the Roseburn path...HLaB said:It wouldn't surprise me if was on the Roseburn path or somewhere similar. I hadn't had one in nearly a year then one one night (before the clocks changed) I was trotting along there slowly I never saw the smashed bottle neckand it wasn't hidden by leaves

Me too, got Marathon Pluses, last week.goo_mason said:Tried the Slime variants once; as the last poster says, all they do is leak green gunge from the hole as the tyre deflates....

I do go along the Roseburn Path, but it wasn't there. It was a 2 minute walk from home, just before the path ends at the Sandport Street bridge in Leith.HLaB said:It wouldn't surprise me if was on the Roseburn path or somewhere similar.

Ive never tried slime my self so I can't really comment on it but it seemed a messy system to me.
