Ive done 3 rides in the last 3 weeks, only along the canal and twice came home early due to punctures Whats the best way to prevent them these days. I used to have that thick plastic roll between the tyres and inner, is there something better than that now?

I had some of the anti-puncture goo in my tyres, not sure it works..I still got em..adds a bit of weight too.

Tubeless tyres and rims

More pressure and learn to stand up over sharp stuff

How much would they set me back?

Not too pricey but you need certain types of rims.

Andy

Wouldn't stans rim tape do the job on normal rims?

Whats causing the punctures?

Are they pinch flats or are you getting glass nails etc coming through your tyre?

Why come home early, carry spare tubes or patch kit and dosent take long to change a tube then carry on with the ride.

silly question but did you check theres nothing stuck in the tyre thats causing it to keep happening..

Have used duck tape before no that great

At the moment trying to go tubless last two days trying to seat tyre on bead of wheel.
Hoping all this fu(king about will pay off. Didn't take that long change a tube.

Supershite were my refund!

For the road and canal i use Continental travel contact half n half's had 2 punctures on them in about 4 yrs awesome tyres,as long as u remember to get all the small stones out of them every once in a while

Only just started back riding again so have no camelbak to carry spares or repair kit. Not checked whats caused them, lazy git just changed over tube haha.

Punctures are a part of riding a bike... At some point you're get them... Those with tubes in more than those running tubeless...

You should always try and take the essential kit out with you like spare tubes and repair kit and pump.. Some tubes are thicker and can help prevent flats or put slime in the tubes to help seal them...

Indeed, even if I'm not taking the camel, I have tube, multitool, penknife and puncture kit in saddle pouch.

Then I've got options to quick replace tube if 1 puncture and kit to repair if any more. Never want my rides cut short, too precious

And yes, ALWAYS check what caused the puncture in first place as it can do easily be a thorn stuck in tube.. You replace, head out, and whadaya know, another puncture.
