Got my second yesterday as I pulled up into work, small screw in the tyre.
It's a tubed tyre, Honda XR125, but since I can't ride it or take the wheel off (no centre stand/experience) etc.. it's gonna cost me about £50/£60 quid to get it picked up and a new tube fitted at the bike place a few miles away.
It's a new tyre on the back, only 2/300 miles on it, and it has a small 1mm or so hole where the screw went, but that should be fine right?
I was wondering whether there's any good product that works, for tubed tyres, like that slime stuff, or something similar that would at least give me a bunch more miles before it's flat or let me get some air in to get it to a shop next time it happens.. because paying £60 and being without transport for a day or two (not to mention pushing the facking thing a mile or two home uphill after a puncture) because of a little screw in the road is starting to drive me insane.
Cheers in advance guys.
(Noticed a puncture thread a little further down after posting, my bad). |

There are slime type products although I dont know how well they work with tubed tyres...
So you know, that £60 could have got you a rear stand and some tools to take off your wheel with enough left over to pay for the new tube and fitting...
It's a worthy investment . |
