Another F****** Puncture!

Having replaced a nearly new set of tyres due to a puncture you can imagine
how I feel having picked up another rear puncture in the new tyres only
1,000 mile later. I didn't really want to use a sealant (thats why I bought
new last time), but can't afford £90 for another rear so soon so I have gone
for the ultraseal option. I've used it before on the Bandit 1200 but the
Blackbirds performance is in another league. I'm trying to judge the mileage
so they are replaced just before the TT.....so thats about 250 miles per
week I need to do.

I'm convinced that they put magnets in the tyres now. Just so they can
attract those bloody nails and other metal bits that then burrow
happily into your tyres and then let you down.

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Mark belched forth and ejected the following:

Should've gone to Spec^H^H^H a place that sells Avons.

1,000 mile puncture warranty, see.

I got a puncture in a new Azaro3 and they were good to their word and
changed it for free.

 

I've wondered if I bought one of those extra powerful NIB magnets in
say a nice large size and mounted it midway under the bike whether it
would be powerful enough to collect the stray metal ware that is
flipped by the front wheel ready for the back to collect a puncture.

 

Tell you what - lend the bike to me and I'll commute my 80 miles a day on it
instead of using the car! D

That should rack up the miles for you!
