Is it a pnuematic tyre? If so it's not puncture proof.

use Google Groups to find UK Panaracer dealers. SJS is one.

I flatted quite a few puncture-proof Panaracer Tourguard tubulars before they stopped production. No
worse than any other tire of the same weight but no better, either.

I am not convinced that Kevlar/Aramid tread liners are any better than sprinkling gris-gris
powder on your wheels. Others seem to get good results and attribute their good fortune to the
Aramid layer.

Panaracer labels their lined models "Tourguard" and offer this feature in several clincher models.

You can buy a lightweight kevlar felt liner for tyres from Panaracer if that's any use

I've yet to try a tyre that didn't get a puncture at some time or other. The current Hutchinson
Globetrotter I'm using hasn't had one yet, but it's only been on a month. A Panaracer 737 I had on
last year had about half a dozen punctures in it's short life.

And your Unix question is??

I use Globetrotters as winter tyres on the tourer. Although I've only done about 3,500 miles on
them, I never got a puncture. They seem pretty good - although I'm told the Conti Top Touring
is better.

Obviously he needs the appropriate Perl script to replace all instances of hole with patch,
recursively.

I like my Conti TT's, but I'm not looking forward to flatting with them--they're the tightest tires
I've ever put on a wheel, and I've changed many a flat in my day. I remember a training ride where
several people struggled to install a Conti tire.

that's in perl6 along with the kitchen sink and every other feature request made by anyone in the
past 8 years. of course it's a bit heavy to take along while cycling.

Yeah, really. It it took skill, patience, tools, and not a little cursing to get my TT2k's on
and off my Mavic 519 rims. They're great tires and I never had a flat, though; I just finally
wore them out.

I put Panaracer Pasela TG's on (because I had them already) and I can mount and unmount them with my
hands in no time at all. Good thing, because I've flatted twice in the first thousand miles, both
times from glass nuggets that I believe (without proof) would never have penetrated the Conti's.

But the Pasela is a nice, light, smooth, fast, easy-to-mount tire, I'll give 'em that.

Of course, I'd rather not flat as often, and have more difficulty changing the tire, but then I
think I've mastered the technique of getting the TTs on. Once I get the tire all the way on but for
the last bit, I go back to the valve end and wiggle the tire a bit, working my way around on both
sides. I might have to do this twice. I'll still have a hard time getting it in, but it seems to
help. It also helps if I stay calm, stare off toward the horizon, and hum a little, as if I don't
really care whether the tire goes in or not. Seems to work.

Ah, now I like a slick tire, and the tread on the TT took some getting used to. I like them much
better now that I've reversed the rear tire back the way I think it should be (Conti says to install
it backward FSR). I've got slicks on The Toy (racing-style road bike), and I do enjoy a spin on it
now and then. Like buttah.

These are the only tyres which have ever given me significant numbers of flats. They roll nicely,
but ultimately they pucture far too easily, so they're consigned to the back of the bike shed as
emergency replacements.

My first PP TG's were 23mm and suffered pinch flats at the rate of 1 every 30 odd miles ('cos I'm a
fat [censored]). Since putting 28's on I've had no trouble -- which pretty much guarantees they will
flat cycling to the letter box & back 🙁

The World Tour's before that went many miles without problems (except for that magic season when
Farmer Giles celebrates his EU Subsidy cheque by distributing hedge clippings all over the roads).

The Specialized nuke proofs on my MTB punctured with a wincey little thorn straight through the
centre of the tread (and a fair chunk of rubber) first time out 🙁

Both the PP & Specs have Kevlar bands. The WT's don't.

[censored] & punctures happen. Get used to it.
