I didn't know what their official name was and typed one thing and went back and edited ... now I look at it with your comment / hindsight I realise the wordings' not that clear ...... no glue patch meant a standard patch that you then have to get a tube of glue out and apply ..... what I've known as a normal puncture repair kit for most of my life.


Totally get this and have them on both my bikes ... there will be a day they fail though.

Interesting that your kiddy's trailer got most of the punctures .... I got introduced to puncture resistant tyres because I bought a new bike that had softish tyres but it was always the rear one that got a puncture ... more in 3 months than I had as a younger person riding for 25 yrs.

I wondered why it was ALWAYS the rear that got the puncture and googled / spoke to people.

Theory is front tyre rolls over a thorn lying flat on the ground (also read nail, piece of glass or any other sharp object) and disturbs / pushes it briefly skyward ... rear tyre goes over the sharp bit now pointing upwards ............. maybe your kids tag along is getting part of that ... I know my kids ones used to and I didn't know why and also seemed re-iterated when I bought he new bike many years later.
