Out and about in Mid Wales - Puncturemagnet strikes again

D3Steve and I did another little trip out today - or at least I did until I got another puncture. Rolling Eyes I'd taken a punt and put on some winter tyres to replace the Duratracs punctured a few weeks ago, bridging the gap until my TuffAnt wheels arrive.

A gash in the sidewall led to the tyre coming off the rim. The wheel nuts had been tightened by a rattle-gun. Evil or Very Mad

Wales was so violent when it was being formed, the strata of the rocks are vertical, meaning sharp bits everywhere.

Still, great views and good fun before that! Thumbs Up

It's a spare that I keep there for no good reason. The 'real' numberplate is in the usual place but because of the way it hides the winch it's a bit vulnerable.

Nice videos Hugh and glad to see a sunny, dry Wales Laughing

Sharp jagged things really do seem to be attracted to your tyres Sad

perhaps it's a sign you should stick to tarmac ? even then, with your record, you probably need a bloke walking ahead of you … with a brush, just to be safe. Rolling with laughter

I think I will try to find solid rubber tyres in that size. Very Happy

I did some lanes in mid Wales in the early 90s, in my classic RR. 1st day I ripped the sidewall of a brand new BFG TracEdge! Those rocks are sharp!

In fact, way back then I lived in Hampshire! Although not best known for mountains, Hampshire sports some hills that are huge compared to Norfolk's undulations!

This is the guy that did Strata Florida on worn winter road tyres and then punctured a tyre on the road section. There's no telling where he'll find a hole. Umm... Whistle
