god yep i got scared when a panaracer touring tyre blew on me recently, thought someone was brapping for a minute there, then felt a breeze on my left ankle...
I'm gonna avoid contis now too. How old/worn was it? My pasela was a year and half old, ridden every day but no skidding. I admit I had overinflated it that morning, but had been told those tyres could take a bit more pressure.
Can anyone tell me about a better clincher than armadillos? i know there's lots of opinions on this. i won't be needing to skid, in fact I like grip.
