Just pulled that big steel nail out my tyre and fitted a new inner tube. Driving me mad having to keep pushing bike because of a puncture especially with so many bikes whizzing by. You fell like your being picked on when your not. Just a bit of bad luck.
Anyway..
Last weekend I used one of those green rim pad lining tools and I've decided they are useless. Problem is setting the pad up so its toe in is pointless! Pad gets worn flat after a week starting at the front, so is no longer toe in. Brilliant!
Also in bought some Clarks replaceable pads (Compound Insert Pads) they are the ones where you pull pin to slide out the worn rubber pad and slide in a new one however, the split pin will rub against tyre with my setup as sticks up.
As to can see, when pad gets low down the pin will hit the tyre. Maybe for road bikes only or have I bought the wrong ones for a MTB?
I've seen others with locking pin on the side. That would be better
