    "Rimbo" is easier to say, I suppose. They might have to give in and re-name. Happened to Orpah Winfrey.

    last time i had a puncture was in the car last halloween. someone apparently decided to sprinkle thumbtacks over the road resulting in me needing a full set of new tyres. thankfully i've had more luck on the bike.

    Try increasing your tube to the next size. Worked for me

    Your car tyres must have been very worn if thumbtacks caused them to puncture! :confused:

    the pin part of them was easily over half an inch long, which caused us worries that someone had done it in our driveway (based on whether they'd have stood pin up in the road).
    thankfully, i reckon the tyres were a good 75% of the way through their lifespan, which made replacing them hurt just a little bit less.

    Maybe carpet tacks? More popular with messers.
