Just watching the London Marathon on the Beeb.

Talking about wheelchairs and they have said they got more punctures in the wet. Why's that then?

Same reason road bikes get more punctures when it's wet. The wet washes more flint etc on to the road but also lubricates the sharp stuff meaning it goes through the tyre more easily

Why don't they go tubeless?
