| |  Flat tyres
Just how many daily commuters get punctures and often? Me! well too often due to hedge cutting and broken bottles  The price i have to pay is a joke only if there were warnings signs like Mud on road to thorns on cycle lane/road!

Yes the garages rub their hands at this time of year, both car tyres and cycle tyres. On narrow lanes where there's lots of bits of blackthorn....I've just driven over lots of this today  |

I do think that the highway signs are catered for the motorist and should be mae universal. If there were signs like Warning clipped hedges when birds need most i'd be happy to strap bicycle over the shoulder

I've used it for over a year and cycle every day and not one puncture. No matter what i've ridden over. |

Absolutly no different from before I put it in. Best to put it on the back tire if you get one strip or just get two, I think there about £8 each.
Just curious, but have you ever had a puncture on the inside of you inner tube? because that could be a different problem. |

Sometimes get them on my mountain bike, but then I don't have to cycle far to get to work.
Remember......its only flat on the bottom. |

If you repair yourself, always always check the inside of the tyre for sharps before you put it all back together. | | | |
