It appears I picked up a screw in one of my other tyres while we were out!

Christ knows
became aware of clumping noise just coming into Farnham pulled up on high street to discover offending nuts!!Even my locking wheel nuts were hanging off.
I have two thoughts on this
One, there's been a car hanging round my road doing slow drivebys wondering if someone got disturbed on wheel removal? Possible but no damage to locknut
Or had breaks done two weeks ago maybe never got tightened properly!? I never thought to check them

Paul mentioned his wheel nuts quite often need a tweak after about three laning trips, I know Derbyshire was rough terrain but I've never experienced it before

Yeah mine seem to loosen off quite rapidly. Not sure why. I think because its a ramped nut rather than a nut with shoulders on it. Pretty course thread too.
I check mine every couple of trips now.
Is the screw puncture repairable Andy?

Should be, the screw looks quite happy in there and it hasn't noticeably lost any air yet

Ive never understood why tyres are filled with air, surely in this day and age there must be something we can fill tyres with to stop punctures, maybe some kind of heavy duty sponge so you still get the bounce but dont suffer the punctures, the amount of cyclists i see repairing punctures on the side of the road is amazing, maybe thats another one for Dragons Den lol

Dunno not seen them again since they they were a tough rubber tread type affair but instead of a tyre wall they had kind of rubber spoke things inside to hold the shape of the tyre so no air no walls to split wired things

Yes done a youtube search and seen them in action they seem ok, but if you were in some deep mud i wonder what they would be like as surely the gaps would all fill up!
