Hopefully getting it sorted in the morning
I found a nail in my tyre a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty unbelievable as it was only a couple of days after my other half had found one in a car tyre, which very nearly prevented us from making it from Weston-Super-Mare to London for a Spurs game with our nephews (their birthday treat). Before anybody suggests a falling out with our neighbours, my bike is always garaged, so no opportunity for vandalism of both vehicles.
My tyre only had about 1000 miles on it, so I wasn't a happy camper. Of course the difference between the car and the bike was that the repair cost £20 for the car (plus a £5 tip for getting it done quickly so that we wouldn't miss the game). Nobody reputable round my way will repair a high speed rated bike tyre, so it was £130 for a new one fitted, balanced, etc.
