Already!
I did a 40 mile ride today, and had some low-level Hutchison Tempo1 tubulars mounted. Yes, they are junky tyres, but they were free, they have soft rubber, and the tread is good for early season slop.
Anyway, about 10 miles into the ride (probably no more than 50 miles on this tyre set), I get a puncture on the front tyre!!! I think this must be the first front glass puncture I've had since high-school. Well, of course I always glue my tubulars on properly, and it was a pain in the @$$ getting it off (note: a clincher would come off easier than by glued tubulars do), but at least I had a spare.
Next week, those Hutchisons go back into storage!
