Just finished a great ride out on an Orbit tandem BUT suffered punctures front and back where the weldtite anti puncture tape overlaps. I had cut with a sharp knife and did everything I could think of to get a smooth profile but still both tyres punctured at the overlap. The tyres were 700 x 35c at 90 psi. I’ve not suffered this problem on mtb tyres – maybe the thicker tubes at a lower pressure helps?
I will put in a piece of sacrificial inner tube where they crossover to protect the inflated inner tube when I repair them this evening as that’s the best strategy I can think of.
I just wondered if anyone else had a master strategy ?
Thanks for any useful tips in advance.

Popped in to the Eureka cafe @ Two Mills this afternoon and enjoyed some great coffee and company. However the bacon was as edible as a depleted uranium tipped shell – seriously the fork bent without piercing – is the grub normally better than that?
