Fixing Punctures / Puncture Repair / Exploding Tubes

Thats not really a tear, my tires have those everywhere.. that's quite normal for a tire that has been used for more than a few weeks :) imho.

This summer i have been eating through two Rubino's and are now running a TriComp on the rear, always with kevlar tire liners.. and a nice light ca. 200g racing tire on my front, lots of cuts in the rears.. only had one puncture when my front Open Pro cut up on a broken bottle last weekend.. now I'm running a Schwalbe Ultremo on the front, feels nice but it seems to pick up way more shit than the Open Pro did.

its right thru to the kevlar/foam bit, it's actually and inch deep hole, kinda skewed into the tyrewall.

Normal tyres would have failed, that was my point.
