    Help, got a flat tyre on the way to work

    Hey crew, I got a flat tyre this morning, just got to work (applecross). So are there any mobile tyre dudes or do I have to get a towtruck to take it to tyres for bikes. Alternatively I might steal the work ute, go grab my bike stand and tools and take the rear rim off.

    Well I found out what the culprit was, apparently tyres and stanley blades dont mix, there that a bit of stanley blade stuck in the tyre, it was in a groove so hopefully it should be plug,able. Man ive had a prick of a week, lost my wallet, got yellow stickered and now this =(

    Well, on a brighter note mate, they say things come in threes, so you've had the 3 bad things, now you should get 3 good things

    dude be carefull, stanly blades chop the fibres in the bias plys ( evvesteel belts in a radial). if the cut is any real width then ur goin to need a new one or the tyre becomes a timebomb.
