Why is it ...

Why is it that no matter how well the builders sweep up after a job
the only way to find the last discarded nail is with a new back tyre?

 

I don't know, but you're fucking dead right.

Anyone had experience of using Ultraseal or Ride On tyre sealant? Is
it any good, various claims are made including better tyre life
through better heat distribution...

 

My local tyre fitter rants for several minutes if you mention any of them.

 

*waves*

Used it in my Speed Triple when I got a lump of steel in an 800 mile old
tyre.

Did exactly what it said on the tin, although the local bike shop [1]
were not hugely plussed at changing time.

I believe Ultraseal is water soluble so should only take a second to
wash out though? I also understand you can actually transfer it from
your old tyre to new (and as it's not cheap and especially if you were
away from a replacement supply on a trip / whatever)?

Who gives a **** what he thinks? He's just a tyre monkey and there to do
your bidding.

Dunno about all that Owen, but I've used Ultraseal (*after* getting the
puncture of coure) and I never had another flat in the same set of tyres.

My local (Ride-in Tyres of Reading) isnt bothered...

 

Well I was just curios about others experience of said product... I
pulled a nail out of the GSs rear tyre (ultrasealed) and was really
impressed...

 

A few years ago I went to Rivvie barn with Christofire and there was an
Ultraseal Van doing on site fillings. I enquired about cost etc and the ****
said "We only do Harley's" I told him to **** off and do some then, but
another van appeared another time and I spoke to the bloke about my previous
experience with the Ultraseal **** and he did my tyres right there and for
free. He said he knew the "We only do Harley's" **** and even *he* said he
was a ****.

If you got a puncture on a shit handling Harley you'd never know
anyway, so what's the point?
