Hi guys, I have just been cleaning the bike, and found a nice self tapping screw lodged in the front tyre. The tyre seemed to be well inflated so decided to remove the screw to see just how far it had gone though. Considering the amount of hissing I got once I removed the screw, I would assume that it has gone all the way though... Doh. Is it safe to get the tyre repaired, or should I go and buy a new one? Not had the bike long, from new the tyre has only done 491 miles.
