Punctures..... Front or Rear?

[DaveS]

Out of interest does the front or the rear puncture the most.

In my case its always been the rear.

Mr Murphy's law.....Only get punctures on the wheel that has the tyre bloody glued to the rim, not the one that you can change witha dessert spoon.

My most recent was a nail in the rear tyre of the Africa Twin. Previous to that I've only ever had front wheel punctures. My best effort was 4 punctures in 2 days whilst riding solo in the desert in Morocco. I only had 1 spare tube, and the heat was peeling the patches off faster than I could apply them!

I always get punctures in the rear and always when the tyres are new for some strange reason

I seem to get more in the front, but have ended up buying MX tubes. Twice the price, survived Morocco, and are still going strong after about 10,000 miles.

Once had a car key in rear tyre... Didn't find the car it belonged to, or its owner...

Second flat was rear as well. Nail.

Mostly punctures are in the rear tyre. Something lies on the ground, front wheel tips it, and gently enters the rear tyre...
