Hi All,

I was wondering if any could recommend a mobile puncture repair service in London? I used to use the Cavalry guy, but it seems he's no-longer operating.

The bike is at home so it's not an emergency, but I'd rather just pay to have the puncture plugged than to have the bike taken to a shop then plugged.

Thanks in advance.

If your insurance covers break down's they should do it free, at least that's what i have heard. Or if you have AA or RAC they will do it too.

The easiest and cheapest way of doing it is to buy a plug kit and fit the plug yourself, this takes about 5 minutes to do and you dont need to remove the wheel.

The kit costs about £15:

Oh, and forgot to say, I think this is the same kit that the RAC or AA would use and it will suffice for several repairs.

Have successfully used this method on several bikes Very Happy
