Fixing Punctures / Puncture Repair / Exploding Tubes

my top contact split on the side wall, for no reason. it was hanging up at work, while i beeped stock until close to midnight. I think it split out of boredom and spite.

Hahhaha. Knew it. We were discussing this at SE Beers as well. The Conti's only drawback; the sidewalls are shit.

I have two tyre patches on my rear. The front sidewalls, are (so far) okay. I think the rear suffers because of the SKS's rubbing occasionally.
