Hi all,
I had to pull a nail out of my back tire : a BT57 with only 1500 kms on it
(930 miles).A mate shoved a plug in it so that I could get the bike home.
I'm planning on taking the bike to a professional bike tire fitter to have
the plug checked out with the tire off the rim.
I've got mates who tell me I should chuck the tire, and replace it with a
new one.
Seems an unholy waste, anyone got a view ?
Also - anyone tried out the Pirelli Strada's ?
thanks
Marc
Marc, I know it seems like a terrible waste, and I've had to do it myself.
But do you really want to be contemplating a catastrophic tire failure while
zooming along at speed? We have enough to worry about, adding a plugged
tire just ruins the fun of riding, for me.
Just my personal opinion.
