Anyone else picked up nails on the A4 lately?
Just a little bit cheesed off when I got home on Monday and found I had not one, but TWO Nails in the back!!!
Fortunatley It'd done about 7k so it wasn't too much of a ball ache replacing it. Has a lorry from B&Q been spilling nails or something!??? |

Re: Anyone else picked up nails on the A4 lately?
A few years ago, when I was commuting daily from Chiswick to Maidenhead, I was averaging 5 weeks between punctures.
Avoid riding on ghosted areas in the middle of the road - they're notorious for being covered in pointy debris.

I picked up a double puncture on the Honda a short while back. The tyre is practically brand new.

Every time someone gets a puncture at work we get the Facilities guy to check the car park for nails!
 Still, have a new BT021 now, so soon sideways round the bends will be back in town...
