    We put two new tyres on Jasons TL100R the other day, he rode outside and managed to pick up a screw, he didnt even make it to the road!!

    We had to take the wheel off repair it properly (no dog turd) and rebalance it. So I know exactly how you feel.

    If your in the area and need a puncture repaired just call in and we can do it for you.

    i was advised today that i had applied said dog turds incorrectly; the correct method is to have both ends sticking out of the tyre, after liberally applying goo! you live and learn huh!

    Still, $35 for a repair, well 2 repairs for the price of one really. And cos they're so close, the punctures that is, they'll repair it again for free it it doesn't hold.


    It was VERY embarrassing going in the shop with 1cm chicken strips, almost as embaressing has having that blade pass me on the corner

    cheers again for the moral support

    And there I was thinking I was actually catching you up on the hill...

    Seems the only way I can beat you these days is when you get a puncture...

    You shouldn't feel bad about the later, it was just another one of my accidental 'which ones brake, which ones throttle moments' that I have occasionally - however on this occasion I hit the throttle ............so who's keen to ride with me in close formation again?? I find it very stimulating for my hand/eye co-ordination practice.

    Hmm, sounds dangerous riding with you...although I didn't notice you having those problems when you were riding past me...

    I remember Loose Bruce used to get a tad confused about left hand and right hand as well - now which one was the throttle again?

    'bout time you changed yer name on this site isn't it - mebbe Inline Four Raver? Hmm, mebbe not...

    I used the dog turd method a few times and really worked well, QUOTE]

    Dog turd method? Do tell. I have a rear tyre the size of a small town, so any tips on dealing with punctures would be appreciated.

    On that note, does anyone know of a good type of air compressor to buy for bike/cage tyre inflation - I am living rural, which means the tyres are always hot by the time I get to check the pressures at anywhere that has an accurate pressure gauge, so thought of being able to inflate them at home.

    Cheers,
    Toaster.
