Hi peeps
The time has come to retire. My bike, that is. Whilst in the LBS today, they were offering a tire
referred to as a 'Dutch' variety, alledged to be puncture resistant. LBS salesperson talked up the
seemingly impervious nature of said items, then showed me a sample cross section, which consisted in
thicker than usual rubber tread area (still reasonable road-type tread rather than knobbly) with
some braid inlay.
Are these worth it? The way they were being sold, they were excellent, but I wondered if anyone had
any more experience? Most of my punctures are hawthorn related...
