Meave - After your punctures on Sunday maybe you should consider strapping a spare wheel onto your back ;D......at least you didnt get wet like the rest of us.

How do you get so many punctures?
Asking that question guarantees I shall have one this evening.
Do you have a track pump?
If not buy one-about £20
100-120psi at all times=fewer punctures in my experience.
Check pressures every other outing-every outing if there is more than a few days inbetween.
You probably know all this already.
If not then I shall bring the razor and fake tan and you can apply!

Sunday run was really good craic .. I was chatting so much ;D that I rode over glass and that's what caused the puncture. We were unable to fix it as it was a new tyre, so really tight to get off...so bowed out early at 40 miles .... many thanks to Trek Stephen for the lift home. Made it back to Loughinisland to catch up with all (soaking wet cyclists) and have a bit of craic and yummy food :-)
Think the option of carrying a replacement tyre is a good one though! :-)
Hope everyone gets on well at Mountain Biking and leisure cycling this weekend . ... puncture free

I don't think it matters how old they are, some tyres can be a real pain as can some rims.
On my winter bike a have the worst combination of both. The only way out is to carry a god set of steel levers.
Lets face it. Mini pumps and plastic levers are great in theory but better to be safe than sorry. Make sure what you carry what works before you gt caught out.
