Flat tyre day in Sheffield ?

Greybeard · 17-12-2006, 12:15

Had a flat this morning, - changed the wheel and got to Charlie Brown's for a quick fix, but ended up with a long wait. There were eight customers in front of us waiting for flats to be fixed, all with nails embedded in their tyres, - one guy had two blown tyres. While we were waiting two more customers arrived with the same problem.

Is this normal for a Sunday or is someone seeding the roads with nails ??

Better than one Sunday I had when two of my wheels were stolen from the car park in Meadowhall.

At least one flat tyre can be fixed easily enough.

A new council initiative to reduce congestion?

Since I moved to Sheffield (15 years ago now) I have had more punctures than anywhere else I have ever lived. In the last 18 months OH has had 9 punctures

I've just decided to trial "Ultraseal" that states it seals punctures as they happen

Just trialling it on the front 2 tyres for now but at a cost of approx 1 puncture repair per tyre it'll be worth it if it works
