Punctures

    I recently put a new rear wheel on my bike and have found that I have been getting a lot of punctures subsequent to this. I looked at the puncture today and it looks like it was a circular object, im guessing a spoke. The rim tape is slightly off centre in places and I am just wondering if there could be anyway that the spokes could be causing punctures, none of them are loose.

    cheers

    It's more likely that you are getting them because of the rim tape is not on properly. Either buy a roll of it or get the wheel to you LBS and they will sort it for you.

    Relating to punctures, does anyone glue the holes in their tyres? The same hole in my front tyre has caused two slow punctures on two new tubes since I got a bad bit of glass into in.
