Its not dangerous in any way to get it repaired. I got a MASSIVE nail straight in a tyre, got it repaired and rebalanced etc for a tenner. No problems.Colin WW said:I would say its got about 3-4 K left on it but I'm on the careful side with tyres so I think I will change it anyway. The other end of the axle has done about 2k after finding out my rear tracking was way way out!

They will put a little rubber bung in it.Colin WW said:I get the wasting rubber but the squirrels? do they plug or stick an inner tube in or am I showing my age?

Mine was slightly bigger than that, and it was pointy, and it didnt bend!ThumpJunkie said:I had this nailed pulled out of my 1 week old F1, and they repaired it no problemo:

12k on and still no problems
IMO best place to buy tyres is www.blackcircles.com.
for buying tyres online maybe, but anyone should def speak to their local smaller tyre fitter where you tend to get a better service and cheaper prices for the same tyreThumpJunkie said:I had this nailed pulled out of my 1 week old F1, and they repaired it no problemo:

BlackCircles are in association with a lot of smaller companies, plus the price you pay includes fitting, balancing etc.smbMG said:for buying tyres online maybe, but anyone should def speak to their local smaller tyre fitter where you tend to get a better service and cheaper prices for the same tyre
It fell in whilst I was using it to pull the screw out... :O :lol:petevick said:how did you manage to get that coin in your tyre TJ![]()
So you didn't go over it with enough force to bend it when it hit the rim? What do you drive, a go-kart? :dddc:Samuel said:Mine was slightly bigger than that, and it was pointy, and it didnt bend!
