Oh the puncture is bad enough and I don't like repairing tyres hence I've got a thread looking for a tyre pronto but it could have been worse.

I ran over what I thought was a stone makin that rubber popping sound as it flings up and hopfully not hitting anyone. I was only going about 30 so I could here it.

Thinking it could have been a puncture I kept a watch but for the next 20 miles home it was fine. It was only when I was rubbin her down after the ride that I noticed.

I couldn't have placed it better If I'd screwed it in by hand and when I say it could have been worse, I mean it didn't even loose 1psi it went in so clean so that's that.

Yeah I've have a few punctures repaired and never had any probs! That tyre looks new it would be a waist not to get it fixed!

Can you get the plugs most places? I just begrudge paying anyone to do what I can do myself.

No it needs to be done by a pro. the plug goes in from the inside! Last time it cost me £10 to get one plugged!! Cheeper than a new tyre:D



ps The price is for a loose wheel!
