because you don't mind a big screw?

Is the screwdrivery bit thingy there for scale you ask??? :scratch: ...

Nope that is what went THROUGH the tyre ...

It didn't let me down on the day, but noticed it was flat when I opened the garage today ... took the wheel off and heard something rattling around inside ... thought it was weird at the time, but took the tyre off and I was greeted with the bit thingy ... yep that had gone right through and the tyre had semi sealed again!! :shock:

Just a thought but do you sweep your garage floor?

[Sosha]

Still free screw driver bit I suppose....

it's a scientific fact, front wheel kicks it up so that the pointy bit is pointing right at your rear when it comes along. HTH

[kwak zzr]

you always getting it in the rear? didnt know you was like that :)
on a serious note why are punctures always in rear tyres?

The pick is actually post-repair ... I simply used some chewing gum*


*No I didn't, I simply used an an innertube 8)

That's well handy. I got an M6 drill bit in my back tyre once, between the two of us we might be able to make a small toolkit soon.

If I ever had a puncture, I'd repair it with ham.


mmm... ham

Does there tend to be more weight on the back tyre?
