Why do I get so many punctures

Well we will see 100 psi in the front now and 110 psi in the back. http://www.greentyre.co.uk/ anybody tried these lately I had some years ago and did not rate them.

I initially thought these sounded like a great idea (about ~5years ago when I last looked) but then I read the reviews that seemed to indicate that they were rubbish. IIRC, quite high rolling resistance and they can also damage your rims.

I've got some closed-cell foam solid tyres on the cheap trailer I use for taking stuff to the dump. They're great for that. I wouldn't want them on my bike.

It sounds like your getting snake bites.

When fitting the tube are you making sure you pump it a little before actually refitting the tyre to the rim? what happens is you are trapping the Tube between the tyre wall and the rim, and when you go to pump it up it gets stuck and forces its way out thus creating a hole or a small rip. make sure when you refit the tube, you havn't twisted it on insertion.

other than that I can only asume its small fragments inside the tyre thats making it puncture
