Re: Noooooooo
Thats not good mate, have you described where the nail is to the guy?
Sometimes, they won't patch a tyre that has a nail/screw etc not in the center of the tyre. Hope you get it plugged, happened to my last tyre

He didn't ask, just said bring it down tomorrow night. If he wont plug it im not paying another 90 odd quid for a tyre i'll get rid of the bike and buy something half decent. I hope he can plug it, I was supposed to be going to Scarborough on the weekend. |

Re: Noooooooo
It's times like that you wish you had a puncture repair kit under the seat isn't it. Had the same happen to me. But I had the puncture fixed in 5 minutes and was on my way home still in time to beat the rush hour traffic dodgem session.
