Sounds like you need new tyres, or at least check you've got your existing ones at the right pressure. I've had no punctures in the past 8 months of riding around Croydon! ;)
It's when they are new and sticky that they give me the most problems. Once they wear down a bit, dry out and harden up they are fine. Most of my problems were over the winter and debris during the works around the Lower Addiscombe road. As I said, I went over some glass that I couldn't avoid which was just plain unlucky, but I don't think I'll be buying Pro 3's again.
 
And what a great bag the DXP is but I bought the pannier rack for £20.
Just been to the chemist to get bag of pills and he asked how I was going to carry them home (it is a large bag).
I told him to watch my Mary Poppins bag and undid one of the pannier sides :D

which it that one?
really need to pickup a saddle/post bag but not sure how big to go as I don't know what to put in it!
 
Did anyone pick up a Team GB 2012 cycling top, i waited too long (waiting on sizing info) and now you cant seem to get them anywhere - would love one so if anyone stumbles across them for sale in L or XL (they measure incredibly small apparently) let me know!?
 
Can anyone recommend a decent cheap hybrid bike to get my wife?

Something £250-£300 would be ideal, if possible, I've just bought a Specialized Allez 2013, and she's keen to come out riding with me! :)
 
Yayyy, got my delivery from Merlin so have my Bont's to mould!

Endura jersey I bought is small in the arms, and its a short sleave! OK in the chest though.....

And the bad news, managed to put half a stone on while being on holiday for two weeks. Had expected that to happen, so heres to hoping it comes off pretty quickly.

wee tip for you mate, dont buy any endura clothing without pming me as i can pretty much beat any price and free delivery....
