View Full Version : Nailed it AGAIN!

Riding back from work last night and ...
I didn't feel at all confident. I start to lean and the damn thing's understeering - I compensate for that and it wiggles like a mad thing at the back.

Sure enough and as expected, an examination at home of the back tyre (with a few hundred miles on it) shows a shiny new nail buried in it. I swear I deal with more nails and screws than my local B&Q. Still, I refuse to stop filtering - even though I'm sure it's the reason I pick up so many of the blinking things :flame:

Off to CMW tomorrow to see if it's repairable.

Rant over, thanks for "listening".

Tyreman on the site can now LEGALY repair punctures to TUV standard. Hes got some special system, then have it filled with nitrogeon for good measure !
If you need numbers give me a shout.

That's a real bummer! :flame: Are you absolutely sure it's not sabotage?

After all, anyone who knows where you work ...:o:o:o:devil:

Thanks Kev. Tyreman did a grand job for me at Popham last summer, but he's a bit off my beaten path if I recall correctly. The local folks at CMW are reliable for this work, never had any problems (and I get plenty of opportunity to test them!)

Ruth, don't get me stirred up!
No, I am not sure it isn't sabotage, but until I get some evidence, I shall just have to seethe!
Mind you, it'd be worth having someone do it just for the satisfaction of catching and punishing them :devil:
