Not my week, slow puncture
...and an annoying one at that, can feel the lump of the screw in the tyre wall, it could at least have made a good job of it so it could have been plugged properly

Re: Not my week, slow puncture
Sympathies. I've just spent nearly 300 quid sorting out punctures in BOTH rears on the Volvo. A three inch wood screw in one for Chr1sts sake! The guy at ATS recommended nitrogen filling (which I did). He also recommended it for bikes as well - sorry to hijack MYC - anyone actually done this and any thoughts on differences?

Re: Not my week, slow puncture
How do so many screws end up the road?

Re: Not my week, slow puncture
Good news is the tyre seems to not have lost much if any air much overnight. Will be riding it to work this morn, will just have to take it steady, bliddy thing.

Maria you don't really want to be riding on it. Has Chris not got a spare? I feel your pain as I got a stone through mine after 100 miles.
Anyhow what's what around the nail? |

Re: Not my week, slow puncture
Well it hadn't gone flat when I squeezed it two hours ago!
Nearest I've got to a motorcycle in weeks
