    2 x 10km spins today in and out of work.

    Just spent €80 on new tyres for the bike so hopefully punctures are nowhere near as frequent from now on.

    Just spent €80 on new tyres for the bike so hopefully punctures are nowhere near as frequent from now on.

    I did the same myself a few months ago after I started getting regular punctures and I haven't gotten one since. The tyres were worn out basically and just more prone to punctures. The new ones have all that puncture protection stuff going on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Inspector Coptoor


    What ones did you go for?
    I got Continental Gatorskins

    I got Bontrager Race Lite Hardcases. I didn't do any research into them I just bought them after walking into a bike shop to buy tubes after another puncture. They seem pretty good though.
