there’s a recurring theme here…
LOL @ nickc
There’s a recurring theme every time I ride a bike with inner tubes. I’ll give you a clue, the word I’m looking for begins with a P and sounds like “Juncture” 😉
Honestly, losing inner tubes was a revelation. Gutted I Had to run inner tubes in my latest bikes wheels as an emergency measure (yes, I punctured, tiniest thorn in the world, but still enough to put a hole in a tube!). Lack of a tube and a bit of sealant deals with this nicely!
Oh, and FWIW, I don’t think it’s fair to have a go at Stan’s when in fairness I think the total disparity between all tyre manufacturer’s “bead tightness” let’s call it, is ridiculous! That said, I used to be a bit of a serial tyre swapper, but have now found tyres to suit any of my needs from either the Maxxis or Bontrager stables (the 2 most reliable when converting to tubeless). Never been much of a fan of Continental myself…
