Scott's Puncture Proof Guarantee

Scott’s Cycle and Sports Puncture Proof Guarantee

We have a problem in the Columbia Basin-a noxious weed, an invasive species known by many names; tribulus terrestris, bindii, devil’s eyelashes, puncture vine, or as it is commonly known in the Tri-Cities, WA the ‘goat head’ This troublesome plant originated from the warm temperate and tropical regions of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, but has since spread with authority throughout North America. In the United States Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Oregon all claim to be suffering from severe infestations of the plant (www.goatheads.com). Apart from being extremely painful to step on when on your way to the river or the bathroom in the middle of the night they are known destroyers of bike inner tubes hence our solution—Scott’s Puncture Proof Guarantee.

Scott’s Puncture Proof Guarantee has been designed with protection from ‘goat heads’ in mind and has been tested by our customers since 1993. It features a super-thick thorn resistant tube, a liner that fits between the tube and tire for extra puncture protection, and a high quality tire sealant that acts as a patch should anything get through those barriers. We decided to use a pneumatic or air-filled tube instead of the fully solid tubes commonly seen at department stores in order to preserve the life of the wheels of the bike, the ride quality, and keep from adding too much weight. The solid tubes are just that, solid, so they don’t afford any cushioning to bike rims or the rider making for a rough ride and ruining rims over time.

Once you have Scott’s Puncture Proof Guarantee maintenance is really quite simple, all you need to do is 1) make sure the tire inflated to the manufacture’s recommendations which is conveniently stamped on the sidewall of the tire and 2) make sure that the actual tire is not worn out exposing the tube to threats such as goat heads, thorns, and debris. As long as you properly maintain your tires and tubes we honor the Puncture Proof Guarantee for as long as you own the bike. If the tube doesn’t hold we will fix or replace it for free and generally within the same day you brought it in. So, if you are tired of replacing tubes come in and see us and have Scott’s Puncture Proof Guarantee installed today!
