Chariots All Terrain Pushchairs Enhanced Puncture Protection

Enhanced Puncture Protection
Some of our customers tell us that they have never had a puncture after two years of serious off road use, but this is very much the exception. Most people get punctures, some people get lots of punctures.

The pushchairs are fitted with good quality bicycle tyres but just like a bicycle any pneumatic tyre can get a puncture. And it's not just countryside walkers who suffer, in the summer gardeners get their hedge trimmers out and litter urban pavements with thorns.

We now fit Enhanced Puncture Protection FREE to most Mountain Buggy Terrain & Urban pushchairs purchased online.

For a single pushchair Thorn Resistant Inner Tubes (£15) & Sureride Anti-Puncture Tape (£7) Fitted (£3) this is worth £25. For a double pushchair Thorn Resistant Inner Tubes (£20) & Sureride Anti-Puncture Tape (£9) Fitted (£4) this is worth £33.

Whilst this does not guarantee that you won't suffer any punctures (only solid tyres will do that and the ride quality is very poor) it does reduce the risk very significantly

Sureride Anti-Puncture Tape

If we receive your order before noon we can normally despatch the same day (except weekends)

Cost £8 including VAT plus post and packing

Enough for up to four wheels

Compared to the Flat-Away Kevlar Tape the Sureride Anti-Puncture Tape is a 'low tech' solution ... crude but possibly more effective in the low speed wheel of a pushchair. It might not be as good in the high speed wheel of a bicycle.

Sureride Anti-Puncture Tape is a flexible plastic strip with reinforced centre which fits between the tyre and the inner tube and offers considerable protection against sharp objects.

We can fit the tape to your pushchair for an additional £3

easy to fit - form into a hoop and place inside the tyre before fitting the inner tube

tough but flexible

protects against punctures, used by cyclists & mountain bikers

does not protect from thorns puncturing the side walls, it only protects the main body of the tyre tread

isn't self adhesive so it can 'snake' within the tyre if the tyre pressure is too low

Liquid Puncture Sealant

Cost £12 including VAT plus post and packing

Sold in 1 litre bottles complete with valve tool.

We have discontinued the liquid puncture sealant because it isn't very effective.

It sounds like a good idea - a liquid which is squirted into the inner tube and which plugs puncture holes as they occur - but in practice it doesn't work very well.

The manufacturers advise us that it is formulated for high pressure, high speed bicycle wheels. Because the pushchair wheels are low pressure, low speed you need to double the quantity to about 250ml per wheel have any benefit - and this amount is a small lake sloshing about in your wheel !
Price: £12.25 (Including VAT at 20%) + p&p
