Was admiring the sexay rear end of my K1 while I saw what looked like some bird poop on the tyre, Got a bit closer, only to find it wasn't bird poop but something more sinister!
At least I've already done 3900 KM on it, so not a total loss, but still looks like it has a fair amount of life left in it

Good spotting though
god im bored!!
i found the same thing once, i propmtly went and bought a puncture repair kit for under my seat, cos god knows where i picked up a screw in my tyre and if it had of gone flat on me i would have been screwed.
Since having a puncture repair kit i have never had a puncture.

Pull it out!
I dare you!

Relax Officer Pig, It was just a wheelie

In desperation once, having no repair kit I pulled out a large nail and plugged the hole with a self tapper, no problem at all for the 200km ride to get a proper plug.

Im no mechanic, but I heard if you add another screw on the opp side it will even out the tyre and wack 3.4sec off your 1/4mile time!!
Also drilling a hole in your fuel tank and leaking av gas onto your sparkplugs should gain the same result.
Happy to help.
The instructions are simple...
What's the problem? Just get it plugged from the inside. Your bike shop can do it with good results.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

C'mon lets ride....
If breakaway replaces it I'm sure Lance will want to snap it up. His "commuting" tyres are getting a bit thin on the ground.

Yeah get it repaired. Safe as houses.
Bouncy...bouncy..
As long as the hole is no bigger than 6mm, and you haven't ridden it flat, it is as safe as. I have done this many times and have never had one fail.How safe is that?

I've got a bit of a problem now, I'm worried the tyre will be flat as a pancake when the tyre shop opens tomorrow, and the local petrol stations' air hose is broken, so Ive got to ride a few K's before I can fill it up again. Trying to source a pump or something atm.
I'd like to not have to replace it, but if it's a saftey issue then I guess I'll have to.
