Now I know this won't be as simple as changing the tube as on my old 125. It would appear it's repairable as its slap bang in the middle of the tyre and has just gone straight in. So who on here would recommend having it fixed, given that it's a ContiForce with 2,500 miles on it, or should i just bite the bullet and get a new pair of tyres? Either way can anyone recommend a good tyre place around the Preston area?

Thanks,
