3 weekends for 3 I've had to pull Hawthorne spikes out of deflated tyres the morning after a ride.
Tubeless is obvious solution but I don't need it for the rest of the year, have a very happy little system working for me with normal tyres and latex tubes, have had fewer punctures than friends running tubeless.
Sooo.. fork out for all the tubeless kit now and embrace the learning curve, or just sit it out? I assume farmers only trim the hedges once a year?
Aw this bother you have with shite shifting, shite brakes, and now punctures.
It's a sign, go back to MTB!
Between now and spring, however usually this time of year as all other field jobs should be done (weather dependent)
What Houns says. General guidance is no hedge cutting March to August to protect nesting birds. Arable farmers will have been harvesting then preparing and sowing. We're in a wet patch now where they'll be staying off the fields to avoid damaging the soil, so an ideal time to get on with hedges and fences.
Tubeless for the winter I'd say.
Yikes, yep OK, sounds like it will be worth it in the long run, was hoping this would just be a wee two or three week blip!

Ha, I dunno, arguably the closer I get to MTB, the more problems I have, I take it as a sign to stick to roads and tracks and away from mud and trails! Am irredeemably hooked on CX though, will just need to put up with the learning/spending curve...
