I've got a puncture now too...
... a perfect arrow shaped piece of glass right in the middle of the tyre! Went to get bike out for the Damerells ride out this morning and flat as a flat thing from flatsville.
Gonna try and get it repaired... how do they repair tyres? Its a brand new tyre.... only done about 250 miles on it
..

They can repair a puncture caused by a nail or screw by using a plug,but cant repair a cut. Might be new tyre time. WTF is going on with all these punctures all of a sudden?

Got tyre fixed... Taylors Tyres in Camborne, Cornwall. £8 and they plugged it up for me in 2 minutes. Glad they managed to fix it, its a brand new tyre..
Time to write a letter to the county council and ask for more road sweepers...

If you'd bought Avons they come with a puncture guarantee of replacement if it happens within 1000 miles

Think we need to get a pertition going to get the councils to road sweep more oftern, as it's a common problem for all of us!
Due to the high speeds my bike can do, I always use Ultraseal, as the last thing I want is a puncture at over 100mph... suggest others use it too... the stuff is a life saver!
Anyway getting my tyre changed today... 5000 miles on the front and no punctures... but as bald as blobbys ass lol
