Is the screwdrivery bit thingy there for scale you ask??? ...

Nope that is what went THROUGH the tyre ...

It didn't let me down on the day, but noticed it was flat when I opened the garage today ... took the wheel off and heard something rattling around inside ... thought it was weird at the time, but took the tyre off and I was greeted with the bit thingy ... yep that had gone right through and the tyre had semi sealed again!!

it's a scientific fact, front wheel kicks it up so that the pointy bit is pointing right at your rear when it comes along. HTH
