This time of year with the rain and winds a lot of small particles of grave, glass get picked up by wet, muddy tyres and often embed themselves in your tyres. These can be punctures waiting to happen.
After a wet, windy ride last week I gave my bike a clean and minor service. One thing I include is to go round the tyre tread and dig out all the small embedded particles. It's surprising how many you find, I found 7 in one tyre. As the old saying goes, “prevention is better than cure”.
