just checking and adjusting my chain today and i thought i'd adjust the foot brake light switch as it needed doing.

just finishing up and i thought id check the wear on the tyre all around, and i come across a SCREW stuck in my tyre. i havent worn out a tyre out since 2009 because of bloody screws, random off-cuts of aluminium in the road, nails and a random shard of plastic that looked like a shark tooth. i have used a repair bung and hoping it holds the pressure overnight so i can get to work easier but i suppose the real test is in when the tyre warms up.

has anyone else used these repair bungs and how long have they lasted? is it really a temporary fix or do they end up lasting beyond all expectations??
