Hi guys.
I was looking at my chain 2 days ago, and to my horror found 1" of a 2" wire nail hanging out of my rear wheel!
Tyre was at about 30PS!, so I hadn't lost that much air...
I had been riding with it though cos it was bent at 90degrees and laying with the direction of the tyre roll...
I didn't want to buy another tyre again since I got the bike (last July), the last tyre had glass from an accident I passed! This tyre is almost new!
A friend of mine told me about Ultraseal http://www.ultraseal.com
It seems to have done the job, and rated as a preminant repair tested to 150 MPH+. I pulled the nail out, and now I just have a really small hole with a slight pink/purple substance in it.
I've stuck it in my front tyre now (as I got a big bottle).
Time will tell, and I'll keep an eye on the pressure, but its held up for the last couple of days.
Gareth.
