Have you still got it? I'll have it if you do... If a tyre's properly repaired there's no need to treat it any different than any other tyre, patches aren't made of dynamite. You'd not want to go road racing though

Muzikill already got it repaired and Northy's already got it on ebay!

So how much did you pay for a pair of BT021's ?

Mine is booked into Scott Murray's on Saturday for £194 fitted.

I've had 20 puctures repaired so far (19 rear and 1 front). I had one rear with 3 repairs to it. No problems at vMax or during hard cornering for the rest of the tyres life. I repair my own now as well as fit and balance them as it costs me a fortune the way I go through them.
