    Arhhhh
    SSUK at the weekend….slashed my rear tyre last night….

    Last year before a Wales trip – new rear tyre needed 24hrs before driving up…

    2 years ago before the Asthma UK B2B – slashed rear tyre on the road bike 2 days before….

    Baaaaad luck DrP!

    If only there was a company based around the concept of getting you tyres by the next day……

    They’d probably call themselves something like nextdaytyres.co.uk I imagine

    tbf, the OPs needs could be met by newtyresinacoupleofdays.com.

    I’m sensing a gap in the market……

    I’m surprised you wouldn’t have already considered putting new tyres on for an event. particularly a singlespeed event.
    Do you carry a spare tyre with you on events like this.

    Why did you slash your tyre? Have you considered anger management? I’d go see a doctor if I was you.

    Evidently not..!

    I like to live dangerously…I haven’t washed my hands after patient contact for 6 years so far……

    those sugragagoogogo Geax tyres are good all rounders, aren’t they. They’ve lasted you well too.

    someone made a good choice picking them out of the bargain bin at on-one 😉

    I’ve got some on my 26″ singlespeed now.

    I think that there’s an obvious underlying problem here that’s been missed by everyone – you’re doing way too many events – 3 in 3 years!
    You’re riding your bike far too much to be on STW.

    Maybe get a few pairs, you know, so you always have spares?

    Or perhaps it’s a subconscious effort to sabotage yourself before the event, adding extra pressure which you later thrive on, or maybe you need an excuse not to race? Who knows, but it’s easy to have spares…

    Baaaaad luck DrP!

    Or, to put a positive spin on it….good luck DrP, that it didn’t happen during the event and you are able to sort it out in time! 😀

    Your title is misleading… None of them appear to be three days but more or less?
