...in mine rear tyre! :x
main.php


Resulting in need of not only new tube,but tyre also! :evil:
Only luck that tyre was worn! :)

Brings question what was weirdest puncture You got?
 
I use tek-screws from time to time at work, I'd recognise one no problem.

it's a 10mm head you say? then it should be of some use to you, usually the only bolts with that head on a MTB are 10mm size anyway.

where do you think you picked it up from? I'll bet it was from your own garage :wink: it's happened to me before :roll: :lol:

On tarmac street. Suddenly I heard and feel that I have maybe small stone stick to rear tyre and when I stoped I saw this bolts head. I manage to ride with it few hundred meters until rear was out of pressure. Tube was so destroyed that I must use 3 patches! :shock:
Worse side was towards rim! (2 patches)
How much I thought about that replacement tube I left home in another backpack! :x
 
I had 2 flats on the passenger side of my car and the recovery bloke wanted to tow me from harlesden to harrow in London (about 10 miles)
when I queried his sanity his quote "it should be ok if I stay below 40"
needless to say another recovery driver was dispatched to my rescue when I informed the rac of the drivers suggestion.
 
i came to a stop halfway down a run in north warwickshire, rear wheel locked by a stick/small branch through tyre and tube running in the same plane as the wheel and jammed into the seatstay area......a carlsberg puncture if ever i saw one!.... :D

:shock:
Maybe he was tyre dealer...(If such ride destroys only tyres and not other parts on deflated side) I wouldn't risk it even If he had thought km/h.:shock:
