today we were going to go bike packing but our plans have changed basically this weekend
we were going to be doing the national 24 or chris was going to be doing the national 24.
then picked up an injury so we thought we'd go bike packing instead which would be slightly
easier than doing a 24-hour tt unfortunately the injuries got even worse so instead of bike packing
we're going to um try and puncture an unpunctuable inner tube
and then go bike packing later in the week thing is what what happens if
you puncture it i guess that's that's what's the answer isn't it if it punctures on any of the
attempts yeah then there's an issue i just feel like it's going to i just don't i think i don't
trust it it's an outrageous claim it genuinely says unpunishable what does it say on the website
under normal use i would say let's start off with normal use and then if we don't puncture it we go
to abnormal use this is not a sponsored video but they sent us these for free so we're gonna come up
what constitutes normal use chris cactus
that's sure that one yeah yeah i reckon that that's a normal use isn't it
they literally have nail pick and mix what do you reckon the spikiest ones are screw you
you're gonna make me a little giraffe balloona in the name of science here are the controls
30 millimeter road tyres lightly used gonna put the unpunchable inner tube
inside and see if we can puncture it we've got a number of items that could do uh the job inner
tube feels a lot thicker than a normal tubulator it's also like stretchy the normal one isn't
test one potholes surprisingly comfortable no punctures it's quite weird doing it in trainers
with speed plays because i think you know often it was quite quite uncomfortable you wouldn't
puncture every time you went over a pothole but i guess with a really cropped tube you know so it's
not a really crap tube one of those potholes is so severe i literally usually kick mine over the
handlebars 32 mil tyres it does help yeah like if they were 23 would it have popped who knows smash
bars there's actually any bit stuck in on it there oh no no that's that's where
chris damaged him as well how is it fine seams it yeah potholes glass no punches
we're doing well they're doing well where'd you go from here i don't know you can't really get
in there you're melting fast did you not really have the ice cream or do you drink the drink still
very hot but the ice cream is the the melting level is always dripping the melt level is not
as good as the the the drip level you know i've been honest chris i don't know what that means
cactus cactus spikes ah i don't think it got through inner tubes one cactus nil if you're
riding through the desert definitely no oh you absolutely smash that cactus i always
encounter kansas is on my ride let's got some ceramic bearings in that isn't it yeah yeah how
did you find my everest it's a piece of history there yeah isn't it you need to pump the tires up
though it's nice that that bike's getting more than one use though isn't it i wonder how many
people actually remember it well you have to put a link in can you can you do that one where you put
like a link up in the top corner yeah i stopped that did they oh that's a good one that isn't
it because you could do it like mid video can you i need that for filming hello hello oh no
surely surely this is going to do it do you want more we've got some more
more attacks in it yeah phase four hardware pick and mix you're going even more psi
pull that one out do you how has it still got air in it i don't know how it's still holding air
it's because it's unpunctual to me that's how oh there's actually still some cactus in here as well
that's a little bit worrying for the rim though isn't it that just leave it it's fine dare you to
take it out see what happens put them all back in the proper packets yeah they're so thoughtful yeah
i know how much you spent on on nail and screw pick a mix you know i just pulled the tack out
the air started coming out i put the tack back in and it sealed back up again nice perfect how
like so so that's must be what the tube why the tube works it must be that it's like because it's
so stretchy it must be that it's able to like seal around stuff and therefore if you get a puncture
in the wheel somewhere or if there's like a thorn in the wheel or a cactus or a cactus yeah or
attack do you think that's what he's doing i don't know if that's a feature if you have these tubes
and you get a big a big neat uh nail through you through your tire whatever drawing pin
whatever it is just leave it in and you'll be fine hey literally look watch it watch it
sealed i've got somebody else to add up to that it's like tubeless if you put loads of tacks in
it you've got a great winter tire you know that's a great idea pass us attacks this is one famous on
some sport eaves in the south isn't it people put drawing pins out yeah so if you ride sporties in
the south you might want to get these in issues maybe we'll see after this test we will see
there's definitely some stuck in the tires not making a noise
how is it how is it that is amazing because that is like lead as deep how is this so in what is
good maybe it's because that's oh no that's gone how does that work though the question is
how long would it last with them in maybe it's one of those things once they're in you just
leave it yeah they definitely protect you against cactuses they definitely protect you against glass
in our very scientific experiment but if you ride into nails or loads of tacks or loads of drawing
pins then do not whatever you do take them out of the tyre because then they'll be a puncture
unless you're going to put them back in and then it seals is that a feature you're probably gonna
get yourself home so even if you because like with those like how many tacks were in there like tons
of them yeah and it was fine obviously we don't know how long you it would last but it seemed
it didn't sound like anything was coming out of it so you could potentially get a puncture but still
be able to get home so that when you get home you go oh this is knackered i need to sort it out now
i'd rather be changing a puncture in my nice lunar room yeah assuming well not now i'd rather be
outside now but so maybe it's a winter thing maybe it's a good thing for winter road rider so you get
yourself home then deal with it rather than you know cold roadside fingers don't work properly
trying to get tires off and all that stuff after you've got home fixed your puncture then if it's
within a year you get a free one warranty that's the point that's why they put uncountable isn't it
i think if they see this video they'll allow you to get new ones uh does this constitute normal use
no you
