Screw in tyre!!

[Benny130]

Just checking everything over before an early morning ride tomorrow and spotted this......so annoying!



Plug or replace? Just going to be a pain getting it anywhere to get it done......

I would be more worried about your choice of foot wear than the screw.

Dead centre you could plug...if you really can't stretch to new.

Plug it and change them shoes ffs:biggrin-new:

 

[Tommy]

Same thing happened too me last week. Put new tyre on, if its not leaking or loosing pressure use it , we use to take screws out of tyres and put puncture repair glue on a bigger screw and screw that into the tyre it use to get us out of trouble. In the end its up to you, if its not loosing air over night i would use it, but get it plugged or new tyre asap.

Tyre repaired properly from the inside, (shoes still the same :adoration.

Now EVERYONE is saying im mad riding that bike on a repaired tyre yada yada yada.

Anyone out there want to reassure me that im not mad and a repair is safe?

Id rather walk into a crowded pub wearing a shell suit tucked in at the legs with white socks and your shoes than ride a bike with a plugged tyre.:Banane19:

Your tyre will be fine bud. I've had this done a couple of times, had a tyre for a week got a puncture, got it plugged , tyre lasted for almost 3000 miles hard road use and a couple of trackdays. it's whatever your comfy with.... I would use it no problem.

We had a vote on this very subject a couple of weeks ago didn't we, seem to recall it was about a 50/50 split on whether plugging a tyre for an S1000RR (as opposed to a moped/car/van etc) was a good idea or not.

100% new tyre , if worst happens and ur lying fukt at least you won't thing it's because your to tight to spend ?140 on a tyre I'd find that hard to take . That's why I never scrimp on tyres service etc what ever bike needs it gets then if I end up cattled it ain't down to money .

Like i said before if the tyre manufactuer GARENTEE the plug by a recommended specialist to the same speed rating than before then what is the issue?
