Punk

Finally left the vicinity of the workshop on a minor shopping expedition and also had the foresight to make a list. One of the items was the puncture repair kit. It contained a little awl type item that one drives in through the puncture to widen it after coating the thing in rubber cement, the awl is then withdrawn leaving a tube in the hole. Then one stuffs a little pellet of rubber down the tube again coated in the gloop and on pulling the tube out the pellet is left in the hole with about 15mm of it poking out. After leaving for 30mins the excess is trimmed off and the tire pumped up to pressure. It seems to be holding pressure properly and I shall change the wheels over in due course.
