patience is definately a virtue - two punctures in 3 weeks :evil:

I think it must be an s thing . When I bought mine it had new sportecs, rear punctured badly a couple of weeks later , the hole was so big the plugs were falling into the tyre , managed to crawl the 80miles home after botching a repair, fitted a new tyre and next day same thing , and the next tyre after that (managed to plug that one). I think I've had more punctures on the S (2yrs) than in the previous 10yrs combined .
