Dave B said:I've been commuting for about 3 months now and yesterday I had my
first puncture :-(. Of course I hadn't got round to practicising
fixing a puncture so I was in at the deep end! I tried my best with
the pucture repair kit (the foil backed patches) but they just
wouldn't stick on properly. Do you have to leave them on for a while
before you peal the back layer off? And yes I had aplied the rubber
solution :-P .
So I decided to try changing the inner tube (thanks to reading this
group I had a spare one in the bag!) I have to say I was amazed how
simple it was, despite being the rear wheel. These quick release tyres
are brill! So I now feel like a proper cyclist.The back tyre now has a 1cm chunk/slash in it.
The tyres I have are continental sports contact tyres. I know if you
buy them yourself that they come with a one year puncture guarantee.
However, my tyres came with the bike (Ridgeback cyclone). Does anyone
know if this guarantee would apply to my tyres as well. Just wanted to
check before I contact the LBS.Cheers
Dave
The heading should read puncture not pucture of course :-[
