How about the longest time with a puncture? I have 2500kms on a slow flat that needs pumping each day.

I honestly wouldn't have the patience for that. How do you put up with it? If I have one that needs pumping after a week I change it.

How about this. I went out with a friend who doesn't bike but wanted to tag along. I was about a mile out when, "whump, whump, whump" from the back. He was fascinated by the process of fixing it only to see me get a pinch flat when I tried to rush putting the tube back in. I decided not to push my luck with that tube and sent him back for a spare. Guess what, took him 30-45 minutes to get back because it turns out he got a flat right after he disappeared from sight. Ok, a little off topic, but kinda funny.

Looks like I jinxed myself with this thread. I went to ride the bike home from work yesterday and the front tyre was half flat. I managed to limp to a garage and pump it up but it was nearly flat again by the time I made it home. This is on my slick tyred MTB that I hardly ever ride. The roadie is still going strong (touch wood).

Been about 600 miles without a flat so far but I guess this will not be for much longer! Though thing is I can't put slime in racing inner tubes you have to have those Mountain bike inners to have the right valve size to put the stuff in your tubes!

Longest time without a flat? That would have to be the bike that's hanging up in the shed, hasn't had a puncture in years.

You know, just by reading this, I'll probably get a flat today!:(

I resisted looking at this thread for so long. Had a peek a couple of days back. Flatted today on my road bike for the first time in 6 months.

AHA!!

I appeal to the forum janitor:

Close this thread now! It is another example of the mindless evil that is pedalled (oh dear) to we Cyclists on a daily basis. I demand action to protect my fellow riders from the fate that has met so many of us, innocents, who have fallen under the subliminal spell of this thread.

Please do something now before it is too late for the others

I'm still resisting! :D

No flats since November, and none around here for almost a year.

i'm not jinxing myself...

After having my first flat in 6 months a couple of weeks ago I got another on the way to work this morning.

Why is there so much glass on the roads? Maybe we should limit people to plastic becauser they obviously can't handle glass without smashing it on the roadside.

Longest time without a flat was 8 months until I read this thread last week...since then I've had 4 flats. I don't think I'll be reading threads about flats anymore.

I have yet to have a flat because of riding. I have had three flats due to presta valves and my anxiousness to pumps them up fast...

I really only get flats like once per year... and they're almost always pinch flats. My last flat was a pinch flat (On a tubeless tire!!!) when I was bombing down some rocky singletrack at Pisgah... I flatted about half a mile from the end of the trail though. Just pissed me off that I couldn't enjoy that last steep downhill with tons of BIG jumps in it. I think I actually tore the knob off the tire, which caused a slow leak, and then it leaked enough air to really SLAM against a rock when I was coming down from a jump. I've been running Stan's tubeless fluid in my tires.. so far no flats, but it's too soon to really tell. I think this system is going to be really reliable.
