I've only actually ridden them once, haven't managed to sustain a puncture-free 30 minutes after installing tube and tyre. Onto the sixth try now.
Tried again this morning with lubed beading, no pinching and 80psi. After 15 minutes, the tube had popped again. No idea why, I've replaced the rim tape and the inside is free from sharp edges, but something is upsetting the tube. I want to send them back, of course, but bought from Wiggle on eBay and reckon they'd just not bother accepting the return.

Do you hit potholes, kerbs, ruts etc?
Poor riding, line selection and smashing your wheels against shit cause half of puntures.
Incorrectly installed, seated or inflated tires and tubes probably cause another 25%.
