Trivia and other useless but interesting items

I've had a downhill/ cross country MTB that came with nylon liners between the tyre tread area and the tubes ...........no punctures at all in 15 years, including 200kms from Inglewood to Halls Gap last year.

(yes I've changed the full blown knobbies to something more suitable after that ride)

Hey Divs, I bet your one didn't include checking under the bonnet for Oil, Water & battery top up.. [bigrolf]

FWIW. For Ride-on Mowers my repairer inserts a strip of heavy lounge room Carpet in between the tube & inner tyre face. Gives thorns somewher to go before hitting the tube.

Seems to work ok, but depends if one takes their Mower across the Kalahari or not.

Re dog poo, in Doomadgee we just water the yard regularly & the Dung Beetles get rid of any dog poo in a couple of hours.
Easy.

Darn tootin' Paul, everything in Queensland is bigger and better. [biggrin]
We called them goatsheads because they were the same size.[bigsad]
***** (stab) ya foot? They came out through the top!

You sure you ain't living in Texas?[biggrin]

I always knew them as goathead burrs. Damn painful nuisance.

I grew up with "3-corners", but round here they seem to be "catheads".

Is this what you are referring to:
