Nail in the tyre
« on: June 02, 2010, 23:06:45 »
When I was fitting my mirror extenders after work today I noticed a nail in my rear tyre. Luckily it was stuck in one of the elevated bits and going in almost parallel to the surface of the tyre. I took some photos, here's the link. I pulled it out and there wasn't any leak and all seems fine. It didn't even go deep enough to need the Slime stuff to do their job.
