Much to my surprise got one the other day.
Am a meanie but wondering - do you folks patch such punctures?
A bit mystified as to what caused it as am normally careful about fittings tubes and checking that nothing is trapped (it was a newly fitted wheel and tube/tyre) and it didn't happen until the very end of a long ride - in fact I only noticed it getting off the train at my home station so walked it home.
Must admit I didn't check the tube for any small slower puncture holes (hard to do since all the air just whooshed out of the snake bites) but couldn't see anything obvious that had gone through the tyre.
Just feeling lucky it didn't happen in the damp dark wilds of essex before I hit the train at Shenfield.
Punctures very rare for me.
