I'm pretty sure it's not losing air, but can confirm that in the morning. Just worried it falls to bits heh...

That also!!!
You saw the pictures of mine which was legal when I left Newcastle

Heh yeah had that happen! Nah my tyre is reasonably new triple compound, just need to make sure chunks don't come off where the rubber has been chewed by the screw!...

If you can afford it I'd get a new one

Yeah likely soon but it's not money, it's time is the problem as we head off tomorrow avo. No way of getting another tyre on there and I probably couldn't afford it til the end of the month as well.

Much as the impressive ballistic analysis and health & safety considerations are, what really matters is that CF's list for Applecross attendees definitely said 'who is 100% coming'. As such, if your name is down, no excuses are acceptable!

Obviously this means I'll awake to a flat tyre &
battery!

Seriously, I'm no tyre technologist but I'd ride it if it's not losing air and the damage appears surface only. How many times do you check your tyres and see some sign of a gouge etc that obviously had something in that has since been spat out without being any the wiser? I do hate that Russian roulette of pulling something out a tyre and waiting for the pfsssst though!

I barely ever check my tyres, in fact, almost never. Just so happened as I was filling it with some much needed air I happened to be staring at a shiny metal thing!

So long as my back tyre aint flat as a pancake tomorrow morning i'll be at Dumbarton
