  1. Went on a ride on Saturday morning - right past the Puncture Fairy's Farm* 🙁 There were 4 of us -
    one got 2 punctures in the front wheel and another got one in his front wheel. Ended up with tyres
    going down faster than we were fixing the punctures !

    * Hampton Lane Farm, Hampton in Arden.

    Comm again, Mike.

  2. This sounds really strange and its probably just coincidence but there is a particular spot (in the peak district) where for the last few years I nearly always get a puncture.

    No obvious reason either wonder if it may have something to do with the cambrer of the road as they are usually the snakebite type.

    Snakebite punctures or "pinch flats" can happen on hitting a bump. They can be eliminated by keeping
    the tyres pumped up properly and using good rim tape.

    But are you getting more normal punctures caused by external foreign objects?
