Perfect start to my day today...

As I'm coming up the hill to where I park the bike by work, I rolled over something in the road I hadn't registered on, bike wiggled a little and I hear a muffled "pop." Immediate thoughts "Oh s**t."

Pulled the bike over where I park, got off "hiisssssss." For ****'s sake!!

Another couple of weeks old tyre flat as a pancake!

Luckily about a month ago, I had the same thing happen to a Z6 rear tyre that was only 2 weeks old. I'm hoping it's been returned from Metzler all nice & repaired (the tyre place sent it for repairs FOC). If it has, it'll only cost me £20 or so to get it sorted this time round.
