This must have been fate. I knew I shouldn't have posted on a thread about punctures while I am on tour in Spain. What happened today, got a puncture in my brand new marathons with kevlar. Found a tiny but sharp bit of wire had penetrated. Frustrating as just 5 miles to my destination. At least it was a front wheel for a change.
