I've got a soft one - mobile tyre fitters near Clapham?
Discussion
Hello all. Unfortunately my Mille picked up a puncture and is currently languishing in Clapham, London.
The rubber ranch mobile fiting guy is away until the 5th, just thought I would ask on the off chance that anyone could recommend another mobile fitter in who covers this area.. Tyre is a 190/50 17 BT014 and is unfortunately only a month old..
Cheers!
Mike

Possible, but I know my own level of bodgery/incompetence with the oily end of the spanner, and now I tend to just leave these things to those people that know what they are doing. Esecially tyres and the bits that go round on a fast bike. It's a bit muppety I know, but I just don't trust myself to avoid landing myself in deep trouble.
Was tempted to bung some of that magic foam in and ride to a shop, but I've heard that that stuff is a bugger to clean off the wheel after use, and with the option of mobile fitters I thought it would be easier that way..

You can get kits like this...

...which will get you home or to a fitters without filling the wheel up with cack and you don't need to take the wheel off.

miken said:No problem, most tyre places stock them I imagine and handy to keep under the seat.
Cheers Mark - that is a very useful link/product - much appreciated.
If you went to a tyre place that stocks them and said you just need to fix the tyre so that you could bring it in for a new tyre they may give you a discount.
Good luck,
Mark
