Mo' More Nails

[Steve H]

Two punctures in 3 soddin' months (Both bloody great nails in the rear tyre), the latest at the weekend whilst I was biking in Devon.

Got recovered on Sunday by a bloke who's first words to me were 'I hate bikes' - he then proceeded to inform me that he didn't have a clue where he was going as his wagon didn't have Sat Nav so I had to ride with him. Cue the longest 3 1/2 hours of my life riding shotgun with the most miserable old Git known to man who's only solace in life was his Rover 216 convertible which he tried to get into any conversation that we had - after Bridgewater Services these were sporadic thank the Lord!

Past by squillions of bikers on the M5, so if any of you saw the yellow TT600 on a trailer being towed by a bloody great wagon and a bloke in the passenger seat wearing a 'get me outta this bloody cab' expression that would've been me

you want a plug kit.

£20, and will seal the hole well, and inflate it enought to get you to a garage to fill it properly.

I rode my Avon Azaro ST rear with a plug in it, till the tyre wore out without any problem.

I now carry a small compressor on the bike tho, (courtesy of Touratech) as the gas canisters I was supplied with had the wrong adaptor in the kit :s

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

You can minimise nail encounters by sticking to the main wheel 'ruts' on the road.
Be very wary in lay-bys and industrial estate type area.
You're still going to get them and sometimes it seems they come in threes - well you get a few then go years without.
