Hi.
I read about a guy who had a great idea to stop getting punctures.
I told a friend about it who on his 38 km daily commute was getting on average 3 punctures a week.
He did the fix and in about 3 months has had one puncture - a builder's staple went through the tyre!!
This is the FIX.
Say you've got 700 x 23mm tyres(and hey, who hasn't !). Get an old 700 x 23(i.e. the same size), cut the beading off and fit it inside the good original tyre on the rim then fit the tube, etc as usual.
You're going to end up with a heavier tyre/wheel combo sure but its a bullet proof solution for training and commuting.
My friend only did the back wheel as he (like the rest of us) mostly seems to get flatties there and is very impressed.
He still takes the glass out of the tyres every weekend - there is a similar amount to pre the FIX.
Happy puncture free riding
