Now that is a weed that grows on the roadsides and it causes me no end of trouble with punctures on my bike.

Its the seeds that are the problem with their spikes, forever pulling them out of the tires and fixing the holes in the tubes.

But then if I kept on the sealed roads I wouldn't have the problem.

If I did I wouldn't see a fraction of what I see now.

^^^ Robby...have a look at your favourite up market bike shop

for a can of "Slime". It's green too! Squirt the stuff into your

tubes and presto...no more flats caused by things such as

those spikey seeds. Also works good against pinch flats.

I haven't had a flat in 3 years of using the stuff. Mind you;

keep your tires properly inflated or it doesn't work that well.

Maxxis also make a great tube that's made of kevlar weave

but sadly they're pricey.
