Hi
Just had my 7th puncture in 700 miles and now had enough? The tyre is very difficult to get off the back rim for some reason and to make matters worse I was 5 miles from home and my pump didn't work. Gave up and called in the rescue brigade (girlfriends mum and dad) to come and collect me in car...glad the mountain bike folds
So did a search for puncture repair resistant tyres on this site and then went to Halfords to have a look at them. Plumped for the Continental Contact Security 08 - 26 x 1.75.
Found them on the site below for £14.99 which is £6 cheaper than Halfords and cheaper than wiggle etc. They also do free shipping; mind you I have not received them yet.
Also brought one of those C02 canister thingies while I was about it to keep in the back pack.
Will let you know what I think of them when they arrive
