The problem with thinking you’ve got enough goo in your tyres because you haven’t had a flat and haven’t seen any leaks in an age is that when you get a bit of stick go into the tyre what little bit of goo you have got just sprays out and doesn’t do anything. This results in having to frantically pump up the tyre, ride for 1/2 mile, stop frantically pump up the tyre, ride for 1/2 mile, stop and repeat until you get home after 5 miles of this. When you arrive home you can happily slosh in some more goo and bingo the tyre stays up. And so was my Sunday ride. My little tube of top up was on the other bike!!!
