Hello- So there you are getting set to ride across the UK on your pride and joy- what precautions do you take to avoid being sidelined by a puncture ? I ask the question because in September I will be doing a John O'G to Lands End Run, with Bob Fisher of the Vintage M C Club- around 1,300 miles in total, including getting to the start and then getting home again. Any advice on what to put in the tyre before setting off- some web sites suggest pre-filling the tube with chemicals that wash around inside while riding and then when the nail arrives, and you take it out the "goo" seeks out the hole and fills it.
Any other suggestions ?
Thanks-
