Sorry guys, I'm now a no.
Had a proper shit afternoon.
I went to ride home from work, bike was hard to push back from it's parking space.... puncture.
Didn't have a repair kit (didn't replace it after using it a couple of years ago).
Phoned up Faversham bike shop, they had one in stock and closed in 30 minutes but would wait for me. Grabbed the works van and legged it half way home to pick up a kit and then drove back to canterbury.
removed big lump of metal from tyre and set about fixing it. Hole was right on some of the metal radial in the tyre and I ended up shredding all three plugs trying to get them to work.
managed to get one sort of in but it wouldn't hold air.
ran out of the glue but thought I would give the remnants of one of the plugs one last go...... pushed hard, BIKE FELL OFF CENTRE STAND! I could have cried. 35 degrees heat, hot, bothered pissed off and dropped bike.
Have left bike at work. Have now signed up for basic RAC cover (yes yes yes, horse, stable, bolted)
Hopefully bike will be at work for two days then on Friday I'll phone the RAC to get it back to FAversham bike shop for a new tyre.
So, after a £25 repair kit, a £9 train ride home (and another back in when the bike is fixed) £49 for RAC and then a new rear tyre there are no pennies left for 2 tanks of petrol and 6 breakfasts on Sunday.
Sorry guys, totally gutted! :-(
