    Friday afternoon out on the Thruxton 'R' about a mile from home, turn into a roundabout, bike instantly wants to go straight on, negotiated roundabout like a complete novice, rear tyre puncture. Parked up & walked home to pick up my portable compressor & the missus. Inflate tyre to 60 psi (helmet on ready for off) & off we go for about 500 yards, repeat, this time managed to get home. Will remove wheel, tyre & tube Monday & decide on the best plan of action (tubed tyres!:(:(:()

    I think he means only if its a substantial hole in the tyre would it need a tyre plug also,

    Bugger. At least it didn't happen at the GMU - there was a bed reserved for you in our room mate.

    If in your budget, I 100% recommend Kineo tubeless spoked wheels! :)

    Yeay! All done, patch in tyre carcase (no damage other than screw hole) new quality inner tube, so no harm done really. Borrowed local tyre fitters machinery as he didn't want the liability of damaging the rim. £15 for tube, £10 drink for the local tyre guys. Could have been worse
