But 100% of my riding is for enjoyment/fun in the dry and so I do not fancy doing that with a hole in my tyre. I trust my local tyre supplier/fitter and when they start scratching their chin and umming and areing when I ask about repairing --that is enough for me to stick a new one on.
That's all very well but at £160 a pop it's no laughing matter.
The RAC fella reckoned it would've been unrepairable because of the angle it went in, but i would've quite happily had it plugged straight away, and had already phoned my bike shop warning them i was on my way.
Fortunately i got away with it this time.
