I hope the greenhouse came with an assembly guide!

Ha ha! It's pretty straightforward thankfully Craig.

Not sure it would work on my tubed tyres...

It's worked for me. I got a puncture on the VFR a couple of years ago in the middle of nowhere. I couldn't find the cause so couldn't use a plug. I managed to get some air in the tyre at a service station but it still went down slowly. As well as the plug kit I also had a tin of Finilec and used that as a last resort. It worked and got me home losing only a couple of PSI.
I had a new tyre fitted straight after that as it was near the end of its life. I asked the tyre fitter if he could see the cause of the leak but he had no idea either.

I keep meaning to carry some sticky string or similar in case of a puncture. I've been lucky in that the few that I've had have been very slow and only revealed themselves after a couple of days.

That is the benefit of tubeless tyres. Most of my punctures have been slow and only noticed the next day.
The TA has tubed tyres which I'm not keen on and reminds of my London commuting days when I always carried Finilec.

I should really have a repair kit or even just an air cartridge. I think if I was any distance from home I'd probably use breakdown.

Has anyone got tyre pressure monitors on their bike?

My daughter bought me a cheap tpm off eBay a few years back. It didn't work well. It kept resetting to a default value and one of the valve sensors stopped working altogether.

Hmm not great. Triumph have ones that connect to the dash. Bit pricey though. Think they are about £230

With tubed tyres I don't need TPMS - I'd notice quite quickly...

The ones on my car were, I thought, a bit erratic until I had the front tyres replaced recently and the fitter mention the mangled nail/screw in one of them that was only visible from inside the de-mounted tyre.
