Avoid Punctures.....

[catmandoes]

Bah!!!!

Puctures while on on a trails - a real pain. After the last one i filled the back tyes with some green stuff called 'slime' that i bought from the local M/C shop.
It stopped the hole i had and has held so far so good.

I also now carry a off road tyre repair kit with me, i hope i dont have to use it though as it looks a bit of a pain. Something un-nervingly un-natural about repairing a puncture by first puttting a bigger hole in it whith a corkscrew !!!

This brings me on to......

How do you get a type repair company to be intrested enough to remove/put on a tyre for you using their machine. Seems a bit hit and miss and depends on whos on duty at the time and how busy they are. Most make a lame excuse, 'wont fit on the machine' when i know it will as ive seen them do it before.

It's been hit and miss with me some say it needs an inner tube some will plug it. But none have refused to repair it.

i don't want to put an inner tube in as i don't like them:(

You can buy Kenda Bear Claws from any Reaction dealer mail order.

I use derbyshire quads. www.derbyshirequads.co.uk but any reaction dealer should be able to supply them.

NJK,

I have a big thorn right through one of my rear tyres from our ride on saturday. I took it out and the slime expanded to fill the hole.

Have you seen those 'tyre jonny's' ? Foam rings that you put in your tyres to provide support should you get a puncture. look good but are expensive.

Blah,

Had another flat this weekend , upon investigate not a puncture. The value core was actually loose. Never had that one before. Tightened it with a value core tool and all is well now. Think ill add a valve core tool to my grab bag.
