I left the office on Tuesday, no sign of rain, when I came out from the changing room it was raining so hard that most sensible people would take cover. But I had to pedal through the rain to collect my son from school. Despite what I thought was good quality water proofing I still was soaking wet within 5 minutes or so..so basically I couldn't get more wet and thought never mind. It continued for the entire 25 minute ride. Any ride after that one will be better!

Hi Tom, firstly it's impossible to get a pinch flat from hitting a pot hole or similar as there's nothing to pinch. For thorns or similar the tyres have sealant in which is supposed to immediately seal any run of the mill punctures. If the hole is too big then I still carry a tube just in case although because of the sealant this would be a little more messy than normal. I've not had to do this yet (fingers crossed).

I'm not convinced! I used to get on average almost 2 punctures per month having to cycle past a skip yard every day so I fitted Schwalbe Marathons and now hardly ever get a puncture in fact only 1 in over 2 years and that was a nail going all the way through and out the side wall. Upside is it's normal tyre so none of the expense or mess and easy to repair if needed (I carry puncture kit and spare tube) Tom
