22miles + around local forest this evening, no mechanicals, no puntures and what really made it a real good ride..... no walkers, no dogs, no horses, there was no one apart from me, a few squirrels, the deer and the birds the only noise was me screaming my head off to the Prodigy

where as last week one thorn caused 6 holes in front tube! no spare on me DOH! so out came the tools to repair the tube, all went well till I tried to inflate it, the pump made all the right noises but thats all it did! a 2 mile walk to the main road and then another 2 miles to home, luckily a neighbour stopped and gave me lift home just as I hit the main road

You were not drinking heavily and smashing bottles in the bike shed over the weekend were you?

You might try tubeless tires- I haven't had a flat in three years, ever since I went tubeless!

 

[Xesh]

Saying that, I had more punctures when I went tubeless than before.

But were you using sealant? I also haven't suffered a single puncture since going tubeless 2 years ago(with sealant)

Lol I was only messing about hence my modern bike no soul comment, what is a cotic out of interest. And to be honest I've got a fairly modern downhill bike that has given me months of headaches and grief compared to my trust retro cannondale lol
