[Closed] Punctures. Do they have a pattern?

Mine certainly appear to. Like buses, and certain genre's of pornography - they come in threes.

I seem to remain completely puncture-free for a good six months. Then within 2 days of my first puncture, I'm absolutely guaranteed another two. I had a front wheel puncture on the hardtail yesterday morning. Changed the tube. This morning I go out to the garage and the back tyre's are flat on the hardtail and the singlespeed.

Oh well. At least it means I've got it out of the way for the next six months. Does anyone else seem to have patterns like this?

Chain snapping is similar. Chain snaps, repair. Chain snaps, replace. ****y new chain snaps, swear loudly at the New Forest pony as you have no powerlinks left!

CRC= £3.99 for 3

It's proven that buses "should" come in threes - I guess the same analysys applies to lots of other events that you'd think would be more constant
