Got a Puncture today

Not Happy
But hey, it gives me an opportunity to use my favorite smiley. It's one of the rears so may change both while I'm at it. Have just done a search over previous posts and Micheldever seems to be coming out OK. Guess going to work today wasn't such a bad idea after all....

Can it not be repaired? I got a puncture in the middle a new rear tyre and the company who fitted them (a2 tyres, sittingbourne) did a free repair. Over time the repair apparently vulcanises to the original rubber and is as good as new. I've done 5 track days on it since and had it over 160 with no problems.

My last puncture was right in corner of wall/tread on a rear so no repair unfortunately available

The nail is in the valley of the tread in the middle of the tyre. Perfect centre. I just assumed from posts I had read earlier that it didn't matter. Nail = New Tyre

160 at bruntingthorpe (anthonny was driving - allowing me to stare at the speedo in disbelief - i was only brave enough for 150). I can manage 145 before I have to brake for the chicane at bedford now though (according to my speedo anyway!)

Fixed !!!
10 quid all in. The boys at Micheldever did me proud again

I can vouch for the 145 Alan, I was doing about 150 as I passed you!
