Got my first puncture in 2000km. A 1.5" brad managed to poke it's way through the rear tire at a 45 degree angle between the cleats and ultimately the sealant in the tube was no match.
The rear wheel is a 16" Holmes rim with a 17x3.00 moto tire, but I haven't pulled it apart to see which tube is in there yet. Just wondering if there is any consensus when it comes to motorcycle tube brands or levels of durability for our applications. Will probably stop into the MC shop around the corner later today or early next week to see what they've got on hand, but before I do I figured I'd see what you fine folks have to say. Leaning toward something heavy duty, plus a sealant of some kind, but defer to those more experienced. Any suggestions?
