Got a 2nd puncture within a month?

[Anonymous1502]

I got a 2nd tyre puncture within a month, I don't know why it is happening since I regularly pump my tyres so the pressure is never low. Are my tires rubbish? I only had them for 3 months so they aren't old. I am contemplating changing my tyres at this point.

I've had 6 in ten months, I usually only get 1 or 2 a year.

I had 9 in one day once. Then nothing for a few months. Don’t worry about it.

What are the tyres? It's been wet around London the last few days for the first time in ages so there'll be lots of debris on the roads. You probably got unlucky

I can't remember when I actually last got a puncture (I only seem to have to replace tubes due to knackered valves )

Shouldn't of said that 😁

I can't cycle at the moment following an accident so I can't be jinxed any more
One tube certainly needs replacing on the Eq disc due to a dodgy valve

I've had 2 punctures in 1 second.
Hit a pothole and it took both tyres out.

As with all punctures, you need to identify the cause and then decide if there is a weakness in the tyre or tube or rim.

Do you check the tube and tyre to see what caused it ? It's usually a thorn or similar

What model of tyres are they? Some are really susceptible / basic, others are fine.

This time of year I swap bikes - my 'best' has Contintental GP4000/5000 tyres on and the 'winter' bike has Continental's GP 4 Seasons. Neither are cheap but they tend not to get punctures.

4 in 2 mile stretch ,can't remember the last time I had one this year though
More puncture resistant tyres for the OP might help as stock tyres can be s bit rubbish

This, a thousand times this.

Almost invariably if you have two punctures in quick succession then the second was caused by the same sharp that caused the the first, and unless you've found and removed it, a third will rapidly follow too.

She's got an Allez which might help identify the tyres. Possibly Specialized RoadSport, 700x26 ?

I have Espoir Sport, 60 TPI, wire bead, double BlackBelt protection, 700x25mm tyres.
