All or most of us had to suffer punctures in our lives. This poll will try to give answers to the following questions:
"Which wheel is more likely to get damaged?"
"I have space for only one spare tyre on my long trip, which one should I take?"

We start the poll of with the following assumptions:
A rear wheel wears down faster than a front wheel.
A rear wheel is wider than a front wheel.
A rear wheel is powered by the engine.
A front wheel has a larger diameter than a rear wheel.
The above is not always true but it is accurate for most DS bikes.

Please feel free to tell us if you prefer to ride on tubed on tubeless tyres and whether you use sludge or some other remedy you think is worth mentioning.
Thanks for sharing your experiences :thumbup:
