I got FOUR punctures on the way to work today, 3 in the front (different places on the wheel), and 1 on the back.
This is a bit of a pain. It only seems to happen when I ride towards work, over cycle paths / pretty wide off road tracks on the edge of Nottinghamshire, not on my normal trails, I'm guessing because there are more tiny sharp thorns this way.
The tyres are Continental Speed King. Are they likely to be very puncture prone?
Other than changing the tyres, I can think of:
a) Buying great heavy slime tubes
b) Converting to tubeless - I was thinking maybe the Joe's Tubeless Conversion kit - which appears to be somewhat cheaper than other kits, and almost cheap enough to make doing it with old inner tubes and things not worth the hassle.
Anyone have any opinions on what makes most sense (or reports on how you used the tubeless conversion and ended up exploding grey goop into your face or whatever)?
Joe
