To heal the tyre...<br /><br />Either use rubber glue or super glue...let the air out of the tube, pinch the tyre to open the hole/cut squirt in the glue...leave it to set then pump the tyre up...<br /><br />Just had to do exactly that today fitting my winter tyres on my summer bike...John Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502827266877599594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390698253856681971.post-69103084803006913112010-10-06T11:03:47.595+01:002010-10-06T11:03:47.595+01:00Yup, punctures are no fun but it's easy enough...Yup, punctures are no fun but it's easy enough to swap the tube and pump up - a bit unpleasant if it's raining at the time :-(<br /><br />1st puncture in over 2k miles is good, I went through a period last year of getting 2 or 3 a week. Kept checking the inside of the tyre and the fitting, but finally decided to run tubes a little softer (40 or 50 psi rather than 75psi) and that seemed to work :-sDave Tellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573107142123710576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390698253856681971.post-9058639661643066252010-10-06T10:23:07.504+01:002010-10-06T10:23:07.504+01:00Just like buses mate.
