I've just had my 2nd puncture in a month and bit fed up. What would you recommend if anything. Have heard about thorn resistant inner tubes and slime? Thanks!

what kind of buggy do you have?

onelittlelion · 12/06/2008 11:47

Mountain Buggy.
Friend has one and never seems to get any - I must be unlucky?!

i always get punctures in mine as well. the same wheel every time.
i asked what kind you have because i was looking into getting a new tire, and you can get new foam ones. but i have a bugaboo, not sure if other companies do them.

We had MB - had 3 punctures over the 2.8 yrs we used it - always backwheels. Never had the special tyres, went over some very rough stuff, but not round town much. What are you getting punctures on?

Would be v tempting if they did!

We went to the Lakes this weekend so some stones and gravel etc but first was just aroud town but could hav been glass I guess. Has been a slow puncture so not 100% sure. MB changed the tyres in last yr or so not sure if makes a difference? Pushchairs.co.uk do spares.
