Two in the last 6 months - latest was a tiny screw that was picked up on the back wheel that went right up into one of the tread grooves. Probably picked it up filtering as there's an unbelievable amount of crap in the middle of a lot of roads in London. Put a temporary puncture repair in and off to the garage today. More bloody money.

Anyone else get regular punctures?

3 in the past 18 months and my latest tyre has a (very) slow puncture due to a nail in it.

It's odd really, I went most of 20 years without a single bike puncture but have had about one a year recently.

Tyres more sticky? Wider so greater chance of hitting a spiky thing? More metallic objects on the road - not swept like in the past? Rolling Eyes

Only had 2 in 7 years, quite lucky really. Both fixed with plugs too.
