i got home tonight and my mate noticed a nail in my rear tyre.it was deep in the side part of the tyre,the part that contacts the road while turning.
i wasnt sure if it was right in or what not so i pulled it out a little and air started pissing out.
its actully a small screw type thing ,i cant remember the correct name but it has a sort of sqaured nail part at the tip then goes into self tapping thead.its only 10 or 12mm long.
very gutting.
does anybody know if this kind of damage is repairable?
its on my cbr250rr so its 17 inch and its a michelen pilot race tyre so not to cheap to replace,i dont think there even available in nz.
ive just screwed the screw back in as to stop the air coming out.would it be recomended to ride it to a bike shop?or is that quite dodgy?
it may be a mission for me to take the wheel off,(no stand etc)
any advice(and condolences:yes: ) will be very much appretiated
cheers kirk
