****!

Got a little nail in my 1,500 mile old rear Dunlop 208

!

Its a very slow puncture and I need my bike for work so I'm still using it at the moment

. If I can sneak out early I will get it sorted before the weekend, if not, it will be done on Saturday before my trip to local Brands Hatch (BSB Final!!) on Sunday

.

Before I get the problem sort I need some advice...

New Tyre? Or get it repaired?

Ive never had a tyre repaired and I'm not sure if its the best way to go. Obviously its got to be cheaper then £70 for a new rear... hasn't it?

And what happens to the handling? I'm not exactly a slow rider with roads, weather, and traffic permitting.
