A  few weeks later, another rear puncture. 

Its a heavy bike, 160 kgs, on 110 by 18 on the rear.  

I tun about 20 psi, deforms a bit when I sit on it, and have had a second puncture in a matter of weeks. 

Its got spooked wheels by the way, so the question is this:

Do I need a wider tyre?  Ie, heavy bike needs more volume?

Or how about mousse, does this work with wire wheels?  And how do you set the bead, I know it will need a rimlock, but how to set the bead with mousse as you will need to pump air into it. 


Thanks all for any advice on this.
