3rd puncture in 6 months!

Now-sy then
I think those plug kits are just to get you hpme - or to the garage for a fix or new tyre

And that slime is the same in that to get you home. what I dont like about the slime is that you dont know that you have got a hole in your tyre that is compromising the structure. Thats what i worry about anyway

You can get puncture insurance for about 120/year, covers up to 3 replacements/year

Went out for a bit of a ride today to buy a tailpack off FuZzBoM and came back with a bit more than I intended.



Crafty Plugged it up when I got home so we'll see how good it is. I did it at 5.00 so I'll check the pressure tomorrow morning to see if it has lost any.

Sounds a lot to me - so in other words you get two tyre replacments per year as one would be the same as the cover cost.


 I wonder how many of us out there with also a car seem to get more punctures in a bike than a car even when we do more mileage in a car perhaps it to do with the amount of time we are in areas that cars don't touch, even a normal riding position in  the road could be in-between the cars tyres where all the crap gets blown let alone filtering and overtaking

UPDATE: no pressure lost so it's good to go!

I fixed mine yesterday with a Stopngo plugger kit. I took a video to show how it works I'll post it when I get in.
